You have to set the
osxfuse.tunables.admin_group key with sysctl to a group that unprivileged users belong to.
This is detailed here:
http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/wiki/OPTIONS (just replace "macfuse" with "osxfuse" in the mentioned sysctl keys).
So, for allowing all users to do unprivileged mounts with allow_other you could grant everyone (group-ID 12) this privilege by doing:
# sysctl -w osxfuse.tunables.admin_group=12
osxfuse.tunables.admin_group: 0 -> 12Just for checking back that the change has worked:
# sysctl osxfuse.tunables.admin_group
osxfuse.tunables.admin_group: 12Christian.

My experience has been that if you enable the allow_other mount option when trying to mount a file system from an unprivileged account, osxfuse will throw an exception and the mount will be inaccessible. We have a lot of customers who try to enable that option when using our product from a Standard Mac account and it fails to mount. I can't recall what the mount exception was though.
