Error mounting an ISO file located in an EncFS folder


I have some multimedia files inside an EncFS folder (decrypted via cryptkeeper).
When trying to loop mount the ISO files I get:

mount: foo.iso: failed to setup loop device: Permission denied

There's no error mounting the same ISO from a «regular» FS.
Is there a way around this?

See 'man encfs': the warning at "--public" and 'man fuse': "allow_other"?

Thumbs up

You're absolutely right.
And reading the fuse man also made me understand the Cryptkeeper option "Allow others to access mounted folders". That's exactly why it's there.
Thank you!
