ls: Operation not Permitted

Question

I have a running a fuse fs with options allow_other and umask 0. This gives me a set of files with permissions set to 777. Though when I try to ls -l in the directory containing the files I get the following output:

ls: name: Operation not permitted
ls: tags: Operation not permitted
ls: location: Operation not permitted
ls: ext: Operation not permitted
ls: experiment_id: Operation not permitted
ls: file_path: Operation not permitted

Can anyone tell me why despite having global permissions (777) I am still getting operation not permitted?

On running strace, I get the following traces:

lstat("tags", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0777, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
lgetxattr("tags", "security.selinux", 0x112ae80, 255) = -1 EPERM (Operation not     permitted)
write(2, "ls: ", 4ls: )                     = 4
write(2, "tags", 4tags)                     = 4
write(2, ": Operation not permitted", 25: Operation not permitted) = 25
write(2, "\n", 1
)                       = 1
lstat("location", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0777, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
lgetxattr("location", "security.selinux", 0x112aea0, 255) = -1 EPERM (Operation not      permitted)
write(2, "ls: ", 4ls: )                     = 4
write(2, "location", 8location)                 = 8
write(2, ": Operation not permitted", 25: Operation not permitted) = 25
write(2, "\n", 1)                       = 1
lstat("ext", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0777, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
lgetxattr("ext", "security.selinux", 0x112aec0, 255) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
write(2, "ls: ", 4ls: )                     = 4
write(2, "ext", 3ext)                      = 3
write(2, ": Operation not permitted", 25: Operation not permitted) = 25
write(2, "\n", 1)                       = 1
lstat("experiment_id", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0777, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
lgetxattr("experiment_id", "security.selinux", 0x112aee0, 255) = -1 EPERM (Operation not    permitted)  
write(2, "ls: ", 4ls: )                     = 4
write(2, "experiment_id", 13experiment_id)           = 13
write(2, ": Operation not permitted", 25: Operation not permitted) = 25
write(2, "\n", 1)                       = 1
lstat("file_path", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0777, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
lgetxattr("file_path", "security.selinux", 0x112af00, 255) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
write(2, "ls: ", 4ls: )                     = 4
write(2, "file_path", 9file_path)                = 9
write(2, ": Operation not permitted", 25: Operation not permitted) = 25
write(2, "\n", 1)                       = 1

So from the trace, it looks like its trying to get the selinux attribute even though its disabled on my system.

cat /etc//sysconfig/selinux
SELINUX=disabled
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
