there are two ways of using the ffat file system: linking the ffat
library (libports/src/lib/ffat), or starting the ffat server
(libports/src/server/ffat_fs) and letting your client open a File_system
session to the server. The latter can be done by configuring the VFS of
your client as follows:

  <vfs> <fs/> </vfs>

Apparently Bob has used the library, which requests a Block session
directly. Using ffat_fs should do the trick.

Cheers
