This has always worked for me in the past. I have been using macfusion for 
quite a while.
I have the correct username/password combination in the configuration.

here is what the log shows

Solution is simple. Just increase Mount timeout in Macfusion settings. 20 sec 
works for me!

This is not a solution.Whit this I just have to wait 20 seconds to get the same 
error again.

For me this worked because it was cutting off to quickly before the server 
responded.

I suggest you try to debug via the command line first using -vvv option to see 
extra verbose information. Once you have clarified a connection can be made 
with your user, and you can access the contents of the mount point. Then try to 
make that work in the GUI of mac fusion.

For command line just enter terminal and run something like:

$ cd /Volumes
$ mkdir mountpoint
$ sshfs  user@some-host.net:/home/user/ /Volumes/mountpoint 
-oauto_cache,reconnect,volname=somename,defer_permissions -P 22

This will mount user@some-host.net's home directory to /Volumes/mountpoint on 
port 22 (that's the -P for a nonstandard port specify it here) the options 
allow for caching, auto reconnect and sets the Volume name to somename. 

You can specify a public key via using -oIdentityFile=~/.ssh/id_dsa for example 
to set your dsa public key. You can watch the status via adding -vvv 

Verbose Output:

sshfs -vvv user@some-host.net:/home/user/ /Volumes/mountpoint 
-oIdentityFile=~/.ssh/id_dsa,auto_cache,reconnect,compression=yes,volname=somena
me,defer_permissions -P 600

This adds a public key and connection to 600, you can also set up in 
~/.ssh/config format

I am more curious why this happens. It worked fine for me under 10.6 and 
stopped working in 10.8.  Any idea why it would refuse to use supplied username 
and password. using private key files works, but what if you can not use it.
