Bug Description
fuse (sshfs, encfs, ... ) fails reporting:
fusermount: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied
This is because /dev/fuse is group root, when it should be group fuse
Workaround:
sudo chgrp fuse /dev/fuse
and all is well.
This is a perennial problem: Dapper, Edgy and now Feisty.

I've just got the same problem on my Feisty install on my laptop. But I'm pretty certain I didn't have to do the chgrp on other Feisty or Edgy installs I've done recently, which is strange.
