Should 'echo "blah" > /ipns/local/blah.txt' magically appear on ipfs? #231

Description

@glowkeeper

I'm not understanding FUSE and/or ipfs.

If I do this: echo "blah" > /ipns/local/blah.txt, why can't I see the file when I load http://localhost:5001/ipfs/QmU3o9bvfenhTKhxUakbYrLDnZU7HezAVxPM6Ehjw9Xjqy/#/files?_k=xcgjgk?

Additionally, after running ipfs daemon && ipfs mount (or ipfs daemon --mount), why can't I see nodes I have added to ipfs under /ipfs/QmU8eXynTUJTXYPPmTvPtJbde6EbVh5EGXjSu1PR5Rsnc2, i.e. after I run ipfs add helloWorld.txt, why can't I see helloWorld.txt in /ipns/local or /ipfs/QmU8eXynTUJTXYPPmTvPtJbde6EbVh5EGXjSu1PR5Rsnc2?

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding something fundamental, or if my question is silly, but I presumed FUSE would allow me to treat ipfs nodes as a 'normal filesystem'. However, that doesn't appear to be so (or, more likely, I'm doing something wrong)....
