I’ve been using this method for mounting the volume through ssh for about a day now, and appears that the macfusion agent has stopped. This in turn makes it impossible for a user to create new mount points or use existing ones. I tried this command in the terminal ( ampersand makes the agent run in the background, otherwise the command will stay active the in terminal window):

/Applications/Macfusion.app/Contents/Resources/macfusionAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/macfusionAgent &

One Response so far.
