[Sam Swift <samswift@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks so much for taking time to look at my tangential problem.  sudo
did sort of work, but then you need to be superuser to access the
mounted data.   In the end, this did the trick:

"sudo chmod +x /dev/fuse", for some reason the group(fuse) didn't have x
rights.

Thanks for your help, hearing from you was enough to get me back to work
on figuring out the problem.

I'm loving 8.04.1, good work, thanks!!

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
