That is strange. In our case, we had a lot customization to do because
we are using X2Go in a VServer environment and the VMs have
intentionally limited POSIX capabitities, e.g,. they cannot mount by
default and they cannot fusermount -u at all. Once we solved that
problem, it worked reliably. I'm surprised you had so much difficulty
but I'm glad it's finally working for you - John
