I have successfully installed sysutils/fusefs-exfat.

I tried the following:

1. Removed my disk from its external case and connected it to a SATA port on the motherboard. It came up as /dev/ada5 and when I ran # mount.exfat-fuse /dev/ada5s1 /mnt/backup I got an error "failed to open fuse device".

2. Put back the disk to its case and connected it to my FreeBSD box via USB. It showed up as /dev/umass0. I tried mounting it again (/dev/da0s1 was the partition) and I got the error the same error as above.

I connected the drive to my Windows7 gaming desktop and verified it is using exFAT.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? Searching the net wasn't really helpful.

Thank you.
 
Do you have the other fuse drivers loaded? Were each rebuilt since your version upgrade or newer kernel, if such were/is the case?
