Final update on this thread for me:
Well, I decided to "break" fuse by making the executables in the /bin
and /sbin directories unavailable and, guess what? The directory still
appears but with normal access rights thereby fixing my problem. All
other system operations seem to be working normally except that I have
to enter the root password for mounting temporary files systems, which
is fine since I'm the only one that uses them on my system. This will be
my workaround that works great!
