Libguestfs - May 2012 - guestfs_mount_local api test: have to 'mount' before calling it?

Hi

I`ve been trying this guestfs_mount_local api for quite a few days,
but still can`t get over it.
Now it seems to have enter the fuse loop but have some problems with 
'mount'?
and stops at guestfs_mount_local_run(g).

Here`s corresponding code in the test program:
??
if(guestfs_mount_local(g,"/mnt/libg")==-1)
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
else
guestfs_mount_local_run(g);
??

Below is a part of the debug dump information,

version = 1.17.40.Root device: /dev/vda1 (this is test output)

Any idea what might be wrong with it?the fuse?

Thanks

Are you actually mounting any filesystem before calling
guestfs_mount_local?

I'll try to write a small example program and send it.
