[Borgbackup] impossible to mount encrypted repository (via fuse)

Don't use "sudo" (just "borg mount ...").

Or if you do, use the fuse mount option that gives other users access,
see "man fuse".

These are encrypted files from ecrypts ("encrypted home directories" in
Ubuntu).

If you backed them up that way, this is expected (and completely
unrelated to borg's encryption).

That's not the way it works.

The param right to the repo::archive is NOT the path to extract to, but
a pattern to match the files you want to extract. And this is why you
get this:

> Include pattern '/home/david/borg_extract_folder/' never matched.
