What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install MacFUSE and shutdown the machine
2. Power up the machine and login with a different user
3. Reboot and try to mount a filesystem with the initial user

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Volumes appear with the user-id of the second user, unreadable by the first

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.3.0, on a PPC Mac running 10.4.9

Please provide any additional information below.

Your report is quite vague.

What do you mean by "try to mount a file system with the initial user"?

A MacFUSE volume is, by design, owned by the user who initiated the mount. By 
default, nobody else, not even 
the superuser, will be allowed access to the volume. If this is what you're 
seeing, then it's working as designed.

No, I'm seeing the filesystem being mounted by the _second_ user (i.e., I'm ID 
501 and it's currently mounted by 
user ID 502 and appears in the Finder as a "forbidden" folder). 

I'm trying to figure out what's happening from the console logs. It might be 
the SSH helper app, will have a go at 
reinstalling everything and then trying MacFusion instead.

Removing, reinstalling and rebooting fixed everything. 

Most probable cause - This machine had MacFUSE 0.2.5 installed before my trying 
0.3.0 (just found the 
0.2.5 .dmg inside the admin user's Trash folder). Since I also removed SSHfs 
and emptied the trash on my 
account before reinstalling, I can't say what version it was... :(

Apologies for the mixup. Will downgrade the offending user to a regular account 
by way of punishment for not 
letting me know what got installed :)
