yes!

that's not a borg problem, but a fuse problem on a LXC vm, which is 
annoying since one can not acces to the archive from this LXC VM

the workaround is to acces the archive from another computer


but that could be a further point of interest to be able to use the 
whole functionalities of borg on LXC container

so a priori nobody on the list use LXC container... you should try ;-)
