Hi, I am having issues mounting rclone. Its configured properly but couldn't sort out rclone.service. Could you please help. Thank you

I also uncomment this line from user_allow_other from fuse.conf
After this I ran sudo systemctl daemon-reload and then these sudo systemctl start rclone.service sudo systemctl enable rclone.service
But not sure why I am getting this message.

Thank you
You'd remove fast-list as it does nothing on a mount.
I commented the line and just re ran but same error
Thank you
After commenting --fast-list
I have this log

You need to run systemctl daemon-reload after you make changes to a service file.
That means you did not change the file as the same error is there.
Let me post the file again and error. So basically I removed the line and then saved the file.
And then I ran these commands one by one
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start rclone.service
sudo systemctl enable rclone.service
But after this sudo systemctl start rclone.service I get this error

Can you cat your rclone.service file and post that.
Thank you for looking into this for me.

Can you do:
date
rclone version
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start rclone.service
systemctl status rclone
journalctl -u rclone -b
and share the output.
istvan@istvan:~$ date
Mon Jun 1 12:17:20 UTC 2020
istvan@istvan:~$ rclone version
rclone v1.36
istvan@istvan:~$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
[sudo] password for istvan:
istvan@istvan:~$ sudo systemctl start rclone.service
Job for rclone.service failed because the control process exited with error code.

So the flags do not work, which is also why that's a question the template for the first post...
Thank you so much. Much appreciated working perfectly fine. Can I ask another question
Why I need to uncomment this user_allow_other?
If I commented this line I get error but if I uncomment then its fine?
Thank you again and you have been very helpful
If you use the flag with rclone --allow-other, it makes any fuse mount accessible via other users on the server.
So if you ran a rclone mount as user 'bob' and wanted user 'joe' to access it, you need to mount with allow other. That requires a /etc/fuse.conf change on the system so you have to have root to do that as on a multi user server/seedbox, that would be not a good thing to do.
Thank you so much. Apologise for very late response 
Have a very good evening. Thanks again and much appreciated for all your help. Works flawlessly
