I just installed the macfuse and sshfs ports on a MacBook Pro running

MacFUSE doesn't support 64-bit kernels. The problem is that 64-bit
filesystems need to be thread-safe, and MacFUSE isn't. As far as I can
tell, there hasn't been much progress upstream on the issue, though I
did see a thread from a couple days ago on the MacFUSE discussion forum
that sounded encouraging.
There are a couple supposed 64-bit MacFUSE modules floating around, but
they appear to just bypass the thread-safety check, so would not
actually be safe to use.
Yes. The early versions that enabled 64 bit kernels where just nasty
hacks that just turned off the checks that disabled it, so where not
thread safe. They where dangerous to use.
However, the recent one here
<http://groups.google.com/group/macfuse/browse_thread/thread/9e5ec92932f27f46>
has I think been done 'properly', so whilst still beta, is a much safer
bet....
