Whenever I've used sshfs i've always had to wrap it in sudo.

Does "sudo user@remotehost:/remote/director /local/directory" work?

Fuse does appear to be included in the eeepc kernel, but if it fails you
may get a different error this time.

Status in Ubuntu Eee: Incomplete

Bug description:
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
