Before you can use libglusterfsclient API, you need to set up
a few things using the glusterfs_mount call. If that wasnt done,
glusterfs_opendir should have returned a NULL, thats the first
bug here I think. Can you confirm if you called glusterfs_mount
in the full program?

Have you looked at booster? It is a library that you LD_PRELOAD
under your regular applications so that file system access
happens over libglusterfsclient, without the need to adapt
apps to libglusterfsclient.
