RHEL5 "back ports" some changes from later kernels, which is why you need
some fixes that unionfs has only in newer (vanilla) kernels.

If someone can get me a plain tarball of the latest RHEL5 kernel source,
I'll produce a unionfs patch that applies and compiles cleanly.  I prefer a
plain tarball, or even better a git tree.

Thanks,
Erez.
