I am using Hardy 8.04 and facing  problem with unmounting a fuse file system 
automounted with udev or via commandline. It is possibly due to the bug pointed 
out here or closely related to it. Following are details from my system.

The fuse file system is mounted without errors for any user, and they can write 
to it:
 
Case 1:
# mtab entry created when file system is mounted using udev
javafs /home/userid/mountpoint fuse.javafs rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other 0 0

udev rule
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", DRIVERS=="usb-storage", NAME="%k", 
RUN+="/home/userid/mount_script.sh &"

On using the GUI option to unmount volume by right clicking the file
system gives an error saying "umount: /home/userid/mymountpoint is not
in the fstab (and you are not root)"

On using command "fusermount -u /home/userid/mymountpoint" leads to an
error saying "fusermount: entry for /home/userid/mymountpoint not found
in /etc/mtab"

File system unmounts correctly when using umount as root.

Case 2:
#mtab entry created when file system is mounted via command line
javafs /home/userid/mymountpoint fuse.javafs 
rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,user=userid 0 0

On using the GUI option to unmount volume by right clicking the file
system gives an error saying "umount: /home/user/mymountpoint is not in
the fstab (and you are not root)"

On using command "fusermount -u /home/userid/mymountpoint" file system
is successfully unmounted.

Interestingly in both cases, I do not see any entry for fuse filesystem
in fstab.
