hello and welcome to forum,

did you compile rclone?
if so, then you need to compile the cmount module with -tags cmount

You probably installed it via Homebrew? Those no longer have the cmount command so you will need to download the official binaries from https://rclone.org/downloads/ instead.

If instead, you compiled the binary yourself, then do as @asdffdsa suggested and add the cmount build tag while building or again, get the official binaries instead, from https://rclone.org/downloads/

rclone v1.53.3-DEV
does the DEV mean that someone compiled it instead of using a binary from the website?

Not necessarily always, but generally yes.

The official builds are also compilations so as long as you pass the proper flags while compiling, there won't be a DEV word in the version. It's just that most people don't add those flags while building which is why the DEV word can generally mean custom compilations.

Homebrew install here, landed on this thread with the same issue. Is cmount never coming back to Homebrew install? If not, do I uninstall via Homebrew and install using the script method? Trying to preserve me settings and config of course.

Best to download from the website and install that route as it's maintained that way. You can copy your config file to be sure as those are the only settings.

felix@gemini:~$ rclone config file
Configuration file is stored at:
/opt/rclone/rclone.conf
felix@gemini:~$

Shows you were the file is.
