I think I could sched some light on this option. It was needed when I was implementing SMB-to-FS connector (basically mapping msnet into filesystem hierarchy), using smbmount to actually mount shares over fuse-supported directory tree. smbmount (and sbmnt, in turn) needs to be able to access mountpoint, and, unfortunately, this access is done under setuid(0). allow_other can't be used in many cases, f.e. when user mounts MSNet tree over /mnt (and can't protect /mnt with standard and proper attributes ).
