This requires certain RPCs in fs.defs (and probably fsys.defs) to be
implemented, most notably file_set_translator. A quick look at
file-set-translator.c from libtrivfs shows us that
trivfs_S_file_set_translator() is "implemented" as

  { return EOPNOTSUPP; }

i.e. it's not implemented at all.

In other words, libtrivfs doesn't seem to support setting further
translators on the translated node out of the box. (I think you could
implement it manually, though...)

OK, thanks a lot. I'll keep that in mind.

Could anybody suggest and idea how to implement this
trivfs_S_file_set_translator callback? I tried to find some clues
in trivfs.h and in hurd-cvs, but my attempts ended fruitless...
