It means your kernel probably does not have the FS-Cache code compiled in.

I believe you can find the latest version on the 'linux-mm' branch in
the NFS maintainer's git tree, which is at:
    git://git.linux-nfs.org/pub/linux/nfs-2.6.git

The steps needed to check out the branch are:

git clone git://git.linux-nfs.org/pub/linux/nfs-2.6.git nfs-2.6
cd nfs-2.6
git checkout -b linux-mm 
git pull git://git.linux-nfs.org/pub/linux/nfs-2.6.git linux-mm

I believe the latest documentation is actually in the kernel tree:

 Documentation/filesystems/caching/backend-api.txt 
 Documentation/filesystems/caching/cachefiles.txt  
 Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt     
 Documentation/filesystems/caching/netfs-api.txt   
 Documentation/filesystems/caching/object.txt      
 Documentation/filesystems/caching/operations.txt  
 Documentation/slow-work.txt                       

Good luck! :-)
