Awesome! Thanks very much Rich. That worked perfectly!

In Fedora 24 x64:

# echo fuse-exfat > /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/zz-exfat
# echo exfat-utils >> /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/zz-exfat

In Linux Mint 18 x64:

# echo exfat-fuse > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/guestfs/supermin.d/zz-exfat
# echo exfat-utils >> /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/guestfs/supermin.d/zz-exfat

$ guestfish -a disk.img 
><fs> run
><fs> list-filesystems 
/dev/sda1: exfat
><fs> mount /dev/sda1 /
><fs> ls /
foo
bar
baz
etc

Gratefully,

Miles
