You must never be here? I know I can say I’ve never been here. Then can I say “you must never be here” when I assume the person has never been here?

You must have not been here. You must have never been here. Both sentences above are correct. The example you gave (you must never be here) is like a command and doesn't reflect whether the person has/has not done the action.

"You must have never been here" would be the grammatically correct version of what you're trying to say. Just take a look at your phrase "I HAVE never BEEN here" and follow the same grammar structure. I would say that even my corrected sentence is a little unnatural though, unless you are 100% sure that they haven't, so perhaps "I guess/assume you have never been here" would be better.
