[CentOS] Wherefore is FUSE?

Tonight, I tried to roll out fuse on my CentOS 4 production system. (in order 
to use GlusterFS) 

I have two identical servers, and one took, the other didn't. 

How simple could this be? 

# yum install yum-plugin-priorities 
# yum install rpmforge-release
# yum install fuse dkms-fuse 

both of these seem to work. Yet I run 

[root at kepler drivers]# modprobe fuse
FATAL: Module fuse not found.

I don't get it. both sides have the same: 
WORKS: 
[root at koehl etc]# rpm -qa | grep -i rpmforge
rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el4.rf
[root at koehl etc]# rpm -qa | grep -i fuse
fuse-2.7.3-1.el4.rf
dkms-fuse-2.7.2-1.nodist.rf
[root at koehl etc]# modprobe fuse
[root at koehl etc]# rpm -qa | grep -i pri
yum-plugin-priorities-0.0.7-1.el4.centos
[root at koehl etc]# 
ls /lib/modules/2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/fs/fuse/fuse.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/fs/fuse/fuse.ko
[root at koehl etc]# 
lib/modules/2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/fs/fuse/fuse.ko
[root at koehl drivers]# 
rpm -qf /lib/modules/2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/fs/fuse/fuse.ko
file /lib/modules/2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/fs/fuse/fuse.ko is not 
owned by any package


NOT WORKS: 
[root at kepler drivers]# rpm -qa | grep -i rpmforge
rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el4.rf
[root at kepler drivers]# rpm -qa | grep -i fuse
dkms-fuse-2.7.2-1.nodist.rf
fuse-2.7.3-1.el4.rf
[root at kepler drivers]# modprobe fuse
FATAL: Module fuse not found.
[root at kepler /]# 
ls /lib/modules/2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/fs/fuse/fuse.ko
ls: /lib/modules/2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/fs/fuse/fuse.ko: No such 
file or directory

Why one and not the other? And why isn't the fuse kernel "owned" by the rpm I 
used to install it? It's driving me NUTS. I've already tried copying over 
the "fs" directory and all child leaves. No effect.
