I have three password suggestions from the Kindle Root Password Tool which all work to login via ssh but none of them work in sshfs as is shown below.

steve@steve:~$ sudo sshfs /usr/share/webkit-1.0/pillow/@192.168.15.244:/ /media/steve
/usr/share/webkit-1.0/pillow/@192.168.15.244's password:
/usr/share/webkit-1.0/pillow/@192.168.15.244's password:
/usr/share/webkit-1.0/pillow/@192.168.15.244's password:
read: Connection reset by peer
Duh...

Are you using the ssh server from NiLuJe's snapshots thread? (which has 'keep alive' enabled)
Ah, which ssh server? (The USBnetworking package has two)

Which sshfs? (there is more than one application by that name)
With what username? (specified directly to sshfs, not the effective username of sudo)
Over Wifi?
Over USB cable?
