Some thoughts.

Version convention.
http://people.redhat.com/nhorman/fuse-s3fs-0.4-2.fc8.src.rpm
...
http://people.redhat.com/nhorman/fuse-s3fs-0.4-5.fc8.src.rpm

These packages should have the same upstream release. It's an upstream issue.

By default fuse-s3fs use /tmp/{bucket} for its cache. It's "annoying" i think.
And from the man page :
- "preserve_cache=[no|yes]
If  set  to yes, the cache for the given mount will not be deleted on unmount,
saving the need for downloads on a subsequent remount (default: no)"

But Fedora (like many Unix system) use tmpwatch :
- "The tmpwatch utility recursively searches through specified
directories and removes files which have not been accessed in a
specified period of time.  Tmpwatch is normally used to clean up
directories which are used for temporarily holding files (for example,
/tmp)."


>From the FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard) it seems /var/cache is suitable for
your need for the root account :
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#VARCACHEAPPLICATIONCACHEDATA

Root (system wide mount) : /var/cache/fuse-s3fs-cache/{bucket}
Users : $HOME/.fuse-s3fs-cache/{bucket}  (like firefox do).
