Same here.  Looks like SELinux is now preventing ntfs-3g from
accessing /tmp.  I get the follow error dialog:

"fuse: failed to create temporary directory FUSE mount point creation
failed Unmounting /dev/sdf1 (WindowsBackup)"

And from the SELinux side:
avc: denied { write } for comm="mount.ntfs-3g" dev=sda6 egid=0 euid=0
exe="/sbin/mount.ntfs-3g" exit=-13 fsgid=0 fsuid=0 gid=0 items=0
name="tmp" pid=4113 scontext=system_u:system_r:mount_ntfs_t:s0 sgid=0
subj=system_u:system_r:mount_ntfs_t:s0 suid=0 tclass=dir
tcontext=system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0 tty=(none) uid=0

Does anyone know what ntfs-3g is trying to write to /tmp?
