Hi Greg, maybe if you could describe a bit your mechanism, you could have a right answer and some leads for a example why do you need the "type" of a VNODE, - do you receive a userspace file event?

Well, the kext sends out file events, but I'm confused, I already solved my problem (in the reply to myself), did you not see that? I simply needed a vnode_put call after a vnode_lookup.
