Ah, fuzznuc reports features so we hadn't implemented SAM there.

However, you can use -rformat listfile to get USAs for the features, and 
then seqret -osformat sam @listfilename to get the sequences in SAM format.

Possibly scope to do more there. What would you like to see in SAM 
output for fuzznuc?
