I have just slammed into this myself and wasted several hours trying to
debug 'sshfs' thinking that was gone haywire. I usually use Eclipse PDT
and my files saved fine. Then I was starting a new project, but didn't
want the bloat of Eclipse just yet while I copied files into directories
and modified basic template parameters. My files would save the very
first time, but subsequent saves weren't working. I tried setting them
to "666" and the upstream dirs to "777" and still it failed. I noticed
that if I deleted the files from an ssh terminal, then clicked save in
gedit they worked every time. The only other thing I noticed was there
was a ~ (backup) file. I then turned that option off in gedit's
preferences and now it saves all the time.

I can also edit and save from my desktop to the sshfs files with VIM no
problemo (although I don't use ~ backup files on there either, so this
may be a red-herring)

So this is certainly a strange bug with gedit and NOT sshfs.

I use Ubuntu 8.10 with all current updates.
