I've had exactly the same problem. I have 3 PCs running 7.04. One of them has the default installed kernel 2.6.20-15 and is fine, the other 2 have been updated immediately on being installed to 2.6.20-16 and both have the problem with fusermount. The fix outlined above does work but it is not persistent; the problem is there again on rebooting. I added the chgrp fuse /dev/fuse command to the /etc/init.d/fuse shellscript and that has done the trick for now. I can't find any relevant differences between the PC that doesn't work as expected and the 2 others except the kernel version.
