You can widen fuse access by putting 'user_allow_other' in /etc/fuse.conf and using '-o allow_other' (or equivalent, this is for sshfs) for the fuse filesystem mount command. Thanks, that's good to know. There is a fuse-fs for browsing rdiff-backup repositories [1]. Passing options to fuse is going to be enabled in the next release.

It is the successor to archfs. I am waiting for it get beyond 1.0.0 too. I use rdiffweb (0.6.3) which works well. Thanks for the tip re excluding filesystems.
