Bug Description

in Feisty with obexfs package installed,
obexfs (fuse) filesystem cannot be unmounted by non-root user who mounted it.
That user has "Allow use of fuse filesystems" privilege.
/etc/fuse.conf file contains line "user_allow_other".
According to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=398051 there is a known problem
that can be workarounded by setting fsname option in /etc/fstab but it didn't work for me
because of use of -Bxx parameter.

I modify /etc/fstab entry to this:
  obexfs#-b00:16:4E:7B:FC:1C\040-B10 /media/nokia6021 fuse allow_other,user,fsname=obexfs#-b00:16:4E:7B:FC:1C 0 0
and I mounted it and /etc/mtab contains this line:
  obexfs#-b00:16:4E:7B:FC:1C /media/nokia6021 fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,allow_other,user=roman 0 0
but when I tried to umount it, I still got:
  umount: /media/nokia6021 mount disagrees with the fstab
because " -B10" was not included in fsname, but adding this to fsname:
  obexfs#-b00:16:4E:7B:FC:1C\040-B10 /media/nokia6021 fuse allow_other,user,fsname=obexfs#-b00:16:4E:7B:FC:1C\040-B10 0 0
caused error when mounting:
  fuse: unknown option `-B10'

This problem should probably be forwarded upstream:
http://dev.zuckschwerdt.org/openobex/report

I have reported it upstream: http://dev.zuckschwerdt.org/openobex/ticket/7
but it seems that it cannot be noted in launchpad because its tracker is not registered..

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

fusermount -u $obexfs_mounted_directory works fine in Lucid.
