mutt_dotlock is failing when I try and lock the file across the sshfs file system:-
The last time I looked, sshfs's hard link support was insufficient for dotlocking. I believe the hard link count is not increased, (in addition to creating a new inode number for the link). Even if it were implemented, I personally wouldn't risk my mbox files over sshfs.
Mutt 1.11.0 added a hard link fix for Maildir over sshfs. If you do try Maildir you'll want to either upgrade or disable hardlink support in the sshfs mount.
