I'm using edgy as well and had the same problem. Rules existed. I was in fuse group and fuse was the group in /dev/fuse.
Still I got permission denied error. Anyway, I had just installed ssftp and obligatory packages, so I decided to use the magical trick; reboot. Now everything works perfectly. -- fusermount requires fuse module kernel to be loaded, isn't done automagically https://launchpad.net/bugs/1860 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
