Problems mounting filesystem in Windows

//I'm having some trouble trying to mount a TahoeLAFS filesystem on
Windows, using Dokan and //pyFilesystem and the instructions found at
//https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/pyFilesystem

//Dokan is v0.6.0 and pyFilesystem v0.4.0, both installed without error, in
C:\Program //Files\Dokan\DokanLibrary and c:\fuse\fs-0.4.0 respectively
//TahoeLAFS is v1.10.0 and at the time of testing this 23 of 157 storage
servers were connected

//--------------

//Here's what I do:

//Start python:

python


python>>> from fs.contrib.tahoelafs import TahoeLAFS
//no errors

python>>> from fs.expose import dokan
//no errors

python>>> fs =
TahoeLAFS('URI:DIR2:ilhsig36mfsrvtkj6f6dztptwu:2bdkdjowwlmfwcmknfke244onoq3j662gd7z7jqb3l67dw7wipea')

//still no errors
//the URI is a known working directory writecap with a single file in the
directory

//Mount the filesystem to Windows drive F:

python>>> mp = dokan.mount(fs, "f")

//Windows explorer shows a new drive, called Local Disk (F:), the
Properties of which shows that //100Gb of free space and 100Gb is used
(accurate to the bit)
//but the drive is not accessible for writing, nor does it show the file
that is known to be residing //in it.


//The python console keeps spitting out messages like this:

//What am I doing wrong?

//I should probably mention that my Python skills are negligible
