I finally got fed up enough to look into this. I’ve previously used Samba mounts, but this in theory should be better.
If you’re using Snow Leopard, the drive will not be able to mount. You can get around this by deleting /Applications/Macfusion.app/Contents/PlugIns/sshfs.mfplugin/Contents/Resources/sshnodelay.so

This is quite handy when it comes to accessing remote systems. However, when accessing boxes in your local network, I’ve found Samba to have faster throughput.
I didn’t do any performance testing with it, so I have no idea if it’s faster / slower than SMB, but it wouldn’t surprise me given it has to encrypt / decrypt everything. It’s really just a matter of convenience so I don’t have to set up samba.
i set this up at home. it rocks.
i had to do a few things for snow leaopard. i found it from reading comments in those articles.

quit macfusion, then:
1. rm /Applications/Macfusion.app/Contents/PlugIns/sshfs.mfplugin/Contents/Resources/sshnodelay.so
i was paranoid, so i just renamed it…
2. open System Preferences and then open the MacFUSE pane. Check the “Show Beta Versions” box and click “Check For Updates”. Go ahead and update MacFUSE.
