Hmm, strange. Could you pls check existing mount points? Try

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# mount
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If you have an old mount point for fuse.rclone, like

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
gdrive: on /tmp/tramp.rclone.gdrive type fuse.rclone (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

unmount it from the command line like

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# umount /tmp/tramp.rclone.gdrive
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

FTR, for me rclone with gdrive works for both Emacs 29 and 31.

Best regards, Michael.
