Yup. Fuse, by default, won't allow any different user to access the mount. Including root! So, you'll have to include user_allow_root and modify the event handler script to include -o allow_root, etc etc etc. Or, you could just tarball up what you need to back up, drop it in the directory, and then copy it as a user :) Cheers, Scott -- Scott L.
