Well I think the problem _is_ with dazukofs (at least with the module 
you used). The reason for your system
freeze will be very likely the same bug in dazukofs that is reported here

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/dazuko-help/2009-11/msg00002.html

So everything seems to be ok with your installation, except the module 
you use. Unfortunately...

...there currently is no dazukofs version for kernel 2.6.31 (which is 
used by Ubuntu 9.10)  shipped with the antivir guard. This is the reason 
why the install scripts complains about an unsupported platform (64 bit 
should not be an issue).
The next release will very likely contain a module for Ubuntu 9.10. 
Nevertheless, if the bug in dazukofs-3.1.1 is fixed, the guard should 
work with it as well.
