I believe you probably have that entered incorrectly.

my fuse.py, line 68:

self.mountpoint = "/mnt/gmail/"

after I installed the fuse-utils, the above error disappeared, but I couldn't use the normal user account to mount.gmailfs though I have added this account into the fuse group.

error:
fusermount: failed to create device node: Operation not permitted
fusermount: fuse device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first
fuse: reading device: Bad file descriptor

if I use 'sudo ...', everything is fine, but the normal user account couldn't access /mnt/gmail/.

Any idea?

[Prospero2006]

try this sudo chmod 777 /mnt/gmail

What are the current file permissions?

Pros

[forbmj]

Have done that

ls -l /mnt/gmail
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 2006-03-07 01:02 gmail

[Prospero2006]

when you say your normal user account can't access
/mnt/gmai --What error are you receiving exactly?

Can you access it with root?

Pros

mount.gmailfs "/usr/local/bin/libgmail.py" /media/gdrive/ -o username=XXXXXXXX,password=XXXXXXXXX,fsname=zOlRRa
fuse: failed to exec fusermount: Permission denied
fuse: reading device: Bad file descriptor

with sudo i dont get any error , but i acceed to the directory and is a simply dir on my disc....

hi there.i still can't get it work
had followed the steps, and have fuse loaded...

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/sbin/mount.gmailfs", line 164, in ?
main(mountpoint, namedOptions, useEncfs)
File "/sbin/mount.gmailfs", line 90, in main

libgmail.GmailLoginFailure

Was looking in the official gmailfs page, still no clue ...
(and user/pass are correct...)

Hello everyone, I have followed the directions to get gmailfs to work to the letter and i get the following error message when type the command to mount it: File "/usr/local/bin/mount.gmailfs", line 159, in ?
import gmailfs
File "/usr/local/bin/gmailfs.py", line 20, in ?
from fuse import Fuse
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/fuse.py", line 68
self.mountpoint = /home/charles/gmail

Is there anyone that can help me fix this?
