Do you have "fuse-utils" installed? /dev/fuse is meant to be created with
ownership root:fuse, so the fuse group has to exist on your system. If I
remember correctly, this group is created by the post-installation script of
fuse-utils.

You can check if your system has the fuse group:

$ grep fuse /etc/group
fuse:x:115:
