group "fuse" membership ignored by $>sudo iphone-mount

i have to admit that this feels like something very basic and im ashamed for not understanding it.  i have googled "fuse group not recognized" and nothing useful appears.  i know google spiders this forum but please refer me to the proper thread if this is covered elsewhere.  TIA

plugging in the iphone 3gs and running dmesg gives this:

usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9
ipheth 1-3:4.2: Apple iPhone USB Ethernet device attached

then mounting fails:

[au@arroyo2 ~]$ lsmod|grep fuse
fuse                   51934  1 
[au@arroyo2 ~]$ groups
wheel users fuse
[au@arroyo2 ~]$ sudo iphone-mount
Please add yourself to the fuse group, logout/in and try again.

Does it work properly if you dont use sudo?

You are using sudo so the user is now root rather than the standard user.  Is this a command you should be running as a normal user or root?

Re: group "fuse" membership ignored by $>sudo iphone-mount

thanks for the heads up.  obviously the only reason to add the user to group fuse would be to give that user privileges to execute this command.  googling "sudo iphone-mount" returns a page that describes the result which causes the error to pop up misleadingly.
