Well, sorry, then Samba is too stupid and assumes that root user
MUST-MUST-MUST be able to read everything.

At the first glance, this is a user problem because the encfs manpage
documents options like --public.
At the second: IIRC the permissions are controlled by the FUSE core. I think
the fusermount help page (also mentioned in encfs(1)!) should document
how they work, how to deal with them or where to find additional
documentation. Right now it does not even list the possible -o options,
and I cannot get them with something like: "fusermount -o help". This
sucks, and should be fixed.
-> Reassigned to fuse-utils.

I think you can work around it by adding "-- -o allow_root" to encfs
options.
