fusermount is for Linux FUSE. MacFUSE doesn't have fusermount.

I don't know how encfs is passing the options to libfuse, but sounds
like libfuse isn't seeing "-onobrowse". It's just seeing "nobrowse",
which it can't parse by itself. That is:

somefs [options...] nobrowse # incorrect syntax
somefs [options...] -onobrowse # ok
somefs -ooptions,options,options,...,nobrowse # ok

You are not doing something correctly.

"Brief" means it describes available options briefly. That doesn't
mean MacFUSE magically supports options from hdiutil or other
applications for that matter. 'noautoopen' is not a MacFUSE option, so
take it out. There's no need to second guess--you could also just grep
in the MacFUSE source tree.

Yes, nobrowse.
