Public bug reported:

I was trying to mount remote storage with SSHFS, and it doesn't work in
the way that I am used to with ubuntu and ubuntu-eee 8.04.

with 8.04, from a fresh install, I could just install the sshfs package
and then run this command:

sshfs user@remotehost:/remote/directory /local/directory

with ubuntu-eee 8.04.1, I get permissions errors like this:
fusermount: mount failed: Operation not permitted

I know this sounds like an sshfs problem or a fuse problem, but I have
been though all the threads I could find, and it seems like a unique
problem that doesn't actually have to do with permissions.

I saw mention in one of the fuse package descriptions that it requires a
fuse-enabled kernel, so I thought I would mention it in case the eee-
kernel guys might have an idea.

thanks
