You could always build the RPM with koji against the sources:

  http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/fuse/EL-5/

Something like:

  koji build --scratch dist-5E-epel \
    'cvs://cvs.fedoraproject.org/cvs/pkgs?rpms/fuse/EL-5#fuse-2_7_0-3_el5'

Would probably do the trick.  In fact, I just kicked one off so you
should be able to retrieve the RPM's shortly:

  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1707322
