When I try to mount my previously working encfs directory, this happens:

markus@haktar % encfs /home/markus/private.enc/ /home/markus/private.dec
EncFS Password:
fusermount: failed to access mountpoint /home/markus/private.dec:
Permission denied
fuse failed. Common problems:
- fuse kernel module not installed (modprobe fuse)
- invalid options -- see usage message
1 markus@haktar % lsmod | grep fuse
fuse                   61520  2

So, the fuse module is loaded...

I had similar problem , in a new wheezy-64 installation at first mount (sorry
it's in italian ;-) :

$ fusermount -u crypto
fusermount: failed to access mountpoint /~/mount: Permission denied
Errore in fuse. Problemi comuni:
 - il modulo fuse del kernel non è installato (modprobe fuse)
 - opzioni non valide -- controllare l'utilizzo del comando

at second time the error change :

$ encfs -v -f ~/.crypto ~/crypto
La directory "/home/barabba/crypto" non esiste. Deve essere creata? (y/n) y
Impossibile creare la directory: : File già esistente
10:44:13 (main.cpp:422) Impossibile localizzare il punto di mount, terminato.
Build: encfs versione 1.7.4

it try to create another time a dir but it still exist with strange date , 01
01 1970

on mint forum someone say something about  : "It turns out to be a bug with the
version 2.8.5-3 of libfuse2 and fuse-utils." so i try to update from sid.

aptitude -t unstable install libfuse2 fuse-utils fuse
