Why, you ask?
Because sshfs on OSX’s version of sshfs is wonky.
My solution is to use an intermediate linux server which does the sshfs mount, then serves that to os x over a samba share. Another benefit to this is that you only need one samba share to mount all your sshfs connections, since the linux server will be taking care of those. Also if you had a windows computer you wanted to use this...
