Hi, hopefully this helps you out.

From my personal experience (on Ubuntu) I've found that adding the following lines to my ~/.bashrc file keeps everything for me in working condition:

source /opt/ros/fuerte/setup.bash
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=~/ros_workspace:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH
export ROS_WORKSPACE=~/ros_workspace

and in your case I think you would want it to be:

source /opt/ros/fuerte/setup.bash
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=~/fuerte_workspace:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH
export ROS_WORKSPACE=~/fuerte_workspace

That should let you use roscd and other ros command line tools with your setup.
