Looks good.

When I use Cygwin sshfs(1) to mount the file server directory onto the
Windows client, the directory is not mounted and there are no error
messages:
2025-04-22 18:35:51 admin@dq67sw ~
$ sshfs dpchrist@samba:/var/local/samba/dpchrist /samba
2025-04-22 18:39:27 admin@dq67sw ~
$ ls -l /samba

As a sanity check, sshfs(1) works correctly on a Debian GNU/Linux client.
A peculiarity of Cygwin sshfs on Windows is that the directory being
mounted on ('/samba' in your case) must not exist before starting sshfs.
If that doesn't help, please do
echo $?
cat /var/run/fuse.mounts
right after trying to start sshfs and post the results here.

Thank you for the reply. I vaguely remembered that the mount point must
not exist prior to calling sshfs(1), and tried that permutation earlier,
but it did not work. It still does not work:

$ sshfs dpchrist@samba:/var/local/samba/dpchrist /samba/dpchrist
2025-04-22 20:07:38 admin@dq67sw ~
$ echo $?
127
2025-04-22 20:07:45 admin@dq67sw ~
$ cat /var/run/fuse.mounts

Throwing various options at sshfs(1) makes me think it is brain dead (?):
