that looks like /etc/modules is a directory instead of a file on your system ? did you manually remove the file and make it a directory ?

from a personal mail i got from Guyindia:

You're right...modules is a directory in /etc. Although I did manually change anything. It contains a plain text file named /etc/modules/udftools which contains the following text:

alias /dev/pktcdvd* pktcdvd
alias block-major-97 pktcdvd

so there is definately something broken in udftools, while fuse should probably show a proper error message here, the fact that udftools seems to create a dir and puts a file there seems serious.

can you execute:
dpkg -S /etc/modules/udftools

do see which package did actually put that file there ?
