Hm, I've just started running a server with SELinux enabled and already learned why it was a good thing to stay away from it until now. I guess that's also where your problems come from: the selinux-policy does not have support for zfs-fuse, or for the way you are using it. you can check audit.log to see if SELinux prevents zfs-fuse from starting up. I may be wrong of course.
