I found the problem and fixed it - for completeness, here is what I ran into: MacFusion does not work correctly with OS X 10.6 and newer out of the box - you need to remove the tcpnodelay shared library from the MacFusion package[1]. The connection error message MacFusion shows indicates that the server disconnected, when in reality it was never able to even begin the connection process due to a busted dylib. I'm able to connect now, and this appears to be a great solution for my OS X users.
