FC6 fuse problem

[Mail List <lists sapience com>]

   I have installed fuse and fuse-encfs. I am unable to run this as non-root 
user - i.e. a permission problem.

 I notice on boot that there is an error message (which may not be related?)

Oct 30 22:21:27 foo udevd[411]: add_to_rules: invalid KERNEL operation
Oct 30 22:21:27 foo udevd[411]: add_to_rules: invalid rule '/etc/udev/rules.
d/60-fuse.rules:1'

The udev file contains 
KERNEL="fuse", NAME="%k", MODE="0660",OWNER="root",GROUP="fuse"

This is the same as fc5.

lsmod shows fuse module in indeed loaded.

However any attempt to do anything (sshfs or encfs) yields

 fusermount: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied

unless the fuse mount is run as root.

fusermount is setuid - and the user is a member of group fuse (neeeded as 
fusermount is setuid and runnable only by group fuse).

Suggestions?
