The fuse module is built by dkms. Make sure you have the kernel devel package that *matches* your running kernel. What is the output of:

OK, what next?
Make sure your kernel and your kernel-devel versions match:
2.6.18-128.el5 and 2.6.18-128.1.14.el4
are not the same version. You can have more than one kernel and more than one kernel-devel package installed at the same time.
But what is far the easiest solution is to head over to the elrepo repository at:
http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/i386/RPMS/
and then download the package for your kernel:
http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/i386/RPMS/kmod-fuse-2.7.4-1.el5.elrepo.i6...
Install that by doing, eg.
rpm -Uhv http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/i386/RPMS/kmod-fuse-2.7.4-1.el5.elrepo.i6...
and all should be fine. No need for dkms, dkms-fuse, kernel-devel, kernel-headers or a compiler. I recommend it nowadays over any dkms packages.
Good luck and please report back !
