Looks like your mount point didn't exist before connecting.

No idea how to get rid of that bad descriptor - but if you:

mkidr /usr/fileshare/mnt
sshfs fileshare at fileshare:/usr/fileshare/pub /usr/fileshare/mnt

(assuming /usr/fileshare/pub is a directory on server fileshare) things should 
work correctly.

I do hope fileshare isn't the local machine, cause then you're mounting the 
directory on itself using ssh/fuse......eew, messy.
