I've moved from Ubuntu to Debian on a machine and all my sshfs mounting scripts fail with

fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied

now. Am I missing something simple?

For some reason, Debian configures FUSE to require users to be in the fuse group.

Run gpasswd -a username fuse as root, then log out and log in again. (Important step.)
