As written here, there is nothing in the above file that the kernel
needs. rfs_open.h should not be in the kernel tree, but in user land
and included by the user program. More usually, you would build a
library file with the system call in it and link with that. When you
build the library you need the kernel headers you refer to in
rfs_open.h. Once you have built the library with the call stub, you
no longer need to refer to the kernel headers (which is a good thing).

As above, this should not be in the kernel, but in user land.

I assume you made sure that the .long is in the same call number slot
(i.e. 208).

You don't need to export the call name unless you want to be able to
call it directly from a module, NOT a good idea.

replace the above line with an include of your rfs_open.h file.
