Encfs permission problem
I seem to have permissions problems running encfs. I say permission problems because I can mount as root just fine.
Here is the command I run:
encfs /home/richard/data/sensitive /home/richard/encrypted/
and after entering a password I receive this:
fuse: invalid argument `/home/richard/data/sensitive'
fuse failed. Common problems:
- fuse kernel module not installed (modprobe fuse)
- invalid options -- see usage message
The fuse module is loaded. Sshfs works fine as a normal user. I can mount using that same command and password with root. Any suggestions on what the problem could be?

Just guessing -- /dev/fuse rights?

Here are the permissions for /dev/fuse. Looks good to me.
