sshfs.app repeatedly asks for password if RSA key of server is unknown

This issue applies to sshfs.app.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt to connect to a server whose RSA key is not in the list of known 
hosts
2. Enter a valid username
3. Enter the correct password when the password prompt appears

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output is that the sshfs.app password prompt will disappear and the 
remote filesystem 
will be connected. Instead, the password box repeatedly appears even if the 
correct password 
has been entered. This would lead the user to believe their password is 
incorrect.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 0.3.0, Mac OS X 10.4.9

Please provide any additional information below.
This problem disappears when the ssh command is used in the terminal to connect 
to the server. 
A prompt saying the authenticity of the host can't be established, which can be 
dismissed by 
instructing ssh to add the server's RSA key to the list of known hosts. After 
this is done, 
sshfs.app will work as expected when connecting to this server.
