sfslite 0.8.x is recommended; what error do you get?

Does this blog post help?

I'm not sure CFS works with the current codebase.
Unfortunately, due to the age of the code (CFS is over 7
years old!) and changes in both the Chord code and the
underlying SFS libraries, it would be quite tricky to get
CFS to work.

You could probably reproduce the original development
environment for CFS by checking out an older version of
the Chord tree and using something like sfs-0.7 or
sfs-0.8pre (from Debian, for example) _might_ work.
