[SOLVED]Jmtpfs permission denied

Hello Arch Forums!

I've mounted my encrypted android phone to ~/mnt (directory I made in my home directory) via jmtpfs. ~/mnt shows up in ls, but not in ranger. When I try to unmount my phone fusermount tells me

fusermount: entry for /home/switch/mnt not found in /etc/mtab

How do I get access to my phone, and why won't it unmount?

Re: [SOLVED]Jmtpfs permission denied

Please tell us the exact commands you are using to mount and unmount the device!

I use

jmtpfs /mnt/mobile

to mount and

fusermount -u /mnt/mobile

to unmount and it works quite well. I also use ranger btw and my phone is encrypted too.

Re: [SOLVED]Jmtpfs permission denied

Had to start over. I entered

sudo mkdir /mnt/mobile

Instead of using the one I made in my home folder,
then

jmtpfs /mnt/mobile

Output reads

Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.

along with info about my device.
In ranger "mobile" is highlited in black and the far right (preview?) says "not accessible".

fusermount -u /mnt/mobile

Gives me

fusermount: entry for /mnt/mobile not found in /etc/mtab

EDIT: fusermount works fine as long as I use sudo.
I can also access my phone via ranger using sudo!
