>From the '#' prompt, it looks as though that is not #629650. It
is expected that a FUSE filesystem running as one uid (in this
case 1000) is normally inaccessible by a different uid (in
this case root), even though root can normally read everything.
See <https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/wiki/FAQ>, heading "Why don't
other users have access to the mounted filesystem?"

#629650 was about the FUSE filesystem becoming inaccessible to *its owner*
(uid 1000 'mones' in your case).
