[aklug] mounting with sshfs (Debian Lenny)

Hi. I'm trying to get an ssh connection mounted to a directory in my
home directory (using my user-level account).

I used this command:
sshfs myusername@example.com:/home/myusername/ /home/myusername/example.com/

But then I received the error
fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied

I went ahead and changed the permissions of /dev/fuse (while wondering
if that was really a secure thing to do...)

Tried again, but then I received this message:
fuse: failed to exec fusermount: Permission denied

Before I go ripping anymore holes in my system security, I thought I'd
check with you guys. Is this really something that I have to do as root?

I tried adding my user to the fuse group, but that didn't seem to work.
Maybe extra sudo permissions would be more appropriate...?
