Some bad news, I was offline for a day here, then I logged in today
reattached to screen, and was greeted with a timeout message to the
sshfs server, at this point server still functioning fine.  When I ran
the sshfs command again it locked, with only pings responding and had
to hard reboot it.

I will setup my local machne now so I can do proper debugging for you.
