I am trying to access an HTC ONE (m7) using mtpfs. So I've followed this wiki article https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/MTP#MTPfs and failed.
Quote:
$ mtpfs -o allow_other ~/HTC_One/
Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.
Obviously some important information is missing in the wiki.
Any idea?

Strange; that directory does not exist in my installation yet I can mount my Samsung Galaxy Note II and access it using MTPfs (Version 1.1):

I've never been able to get any MTP software to access my phone successfully either... I ended up just setting up sshd on the device and using sshfs. A bit crazy, but it actually works.

What version of libmtp do you have installed on your machine? I have 1.1.8 installed (merged yesterday during world update):

Code:
fitzcarraldo@meshedgedx ~ $ eix -I libmtp
[I] media-libs/libmtp
     Available versions:  1.1.6-r1 (~)1.1.8(0/9) **9999(0/9) {+crypt doc examples static-libs}
     Installed versions:  1.1.8(01:31:10 13/10/14)(-crypt -doc -examples -static-libs)
     Homepage:            http://libmtp.sourceforge.net/
     Description:         An implementation of Microsoft's Media Transfer Protocol (MTP)

I've just done some googling and it appears that the error message you're seeing is due to a bug in libmtp (I assume the version prior to 1.1.8, as I don't experience it). If you have Stable installed, try 1.1.8 to see if that gets rid of the problem.

Thanks much for your help. With libmtp-1.1.8 and with CONFIG_FUSE_FS=y in the kernel it finally works.

Good to know it's now working for you too.

Regarding your edit of the Wiki, presumably the kernel configuration applies to MTPfs, Go-mtpfs, gphotofs, simple-mtpfs, kio-mtp and gMTP, as they all depend on FUSE, so shouldn't you have inserted it in the Wiki article before the MTPfs section (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/MTP#MTPfs) rather than inside the MTPfs section? (I would fix it myself, but I don't have a Wiki account.)
