I'd be interested in something like this, too. For me, the backend would
be a TSM system, but it's nice if there can be several different
backends.

Maybe something to hack in FUSE? fuse-python or something should be
fairly simple to use. FUSE is not re-exportable by the kernel NFS server
stuff though, you have to use a userland NFS server.
