Forgive me Graham for my ignorance. Using the command
$ sudo sysctl -w macfuse.tunables.admin_group=0 # set Presumably group 0, as 0 is root - did not work. Upon a reboot, (using # get) it was still only showing group 80. I'm not sure how to get it to stay? Allowing root access to something like a drive's contents can't seriously be too risky when root has access to everything else?
