Detailed description of support request:

We are using the Basic 32-bit Amazon Linux AMI (AMI Id: ami-76f0061f) and 
attempting to use s3fs. We can only use old versions as amazon only release 
fuse 2.7.4 for this image.

You have three options:

   - use a different AMI image e.g. the Ubuntu 10.10 AMI's have the newer fuse installed
   - get the maintainer of the AMI image to install the newer fuse
   - install the newer fuse yourself (be sure to either remove the old version of fuse or configure your OS install to ignore the older version)
