backup issue.
Okay, read the thread but apparently there is no solution to this
problem. Has anyone tried permanently "breaking" or disabling fuse so
that it doesn't create the directory in the first place?
Final update on this thread for me:
Well, I decided to "break" fuse by making the executables in the /bin
and /sbin directories unavailable and, guess what? The directory still
appears but with normal access rights thereby fixing my problem. All
other system operations seem to be working normally except that I have
to enter the root password for mounting temporary files systems, which
is fine since I'm the only one that uses them on my system. This will be
my workaround that works great!
According to a thread on the fedora-test list it's possible to prevent
the gvfs-fuse-daemon starting by setting an environment variable:

Why do I need it and can I get rid of it?
You need it if you want to be able to use posix applications on all
sorts of exotic mounts. E.g editing text files on a gphoto mount, or in
a mounted archive.
To get rid of it:
GVFS_DISABLE_FUSE=1
export GVFS_DISABLE_FUSE
However, I've been unable to find out where to set that environment
variable. Although gvfsd is run as the user logging in it doesn't
have that users environment.

Maybe /etc/profile ???
