osx - Why can't I setup an SSHFS share? "OSXFUSE file system is not available" error

I'm trying to setup an SSHFS share from my local machine to a remote machine, but it is not working. I'm getting the error OSXFUSE file system is not available (see below). How to fix this??
FYI, my local machine is a MacBook Pro laptop running OSX 10.9.3. The remote machine is actually a VirtualBox on the same hardware running CentOS.
% brew install sshfs # <---- SSHFS is installed
Warning: sshfs-2.5.0 already installed
% brew install osxfuse # <---- OSX Fuse is installed
Warning: osxfuse-2.6.4 already installed
% ssh [email protected] # <---- See, SSH works!!

I tried solution described here. But it didn't work for me:
% sudo kextunload -b com.github.osxfuse.filesystems.osxfusefs
(kernel) Kext com.github.osxfuse.filesystems.osxfusefs not found for unload request.
Failed to unload com.github.osxfuse.filesystems.osxfusefs - (libkern/kext) not found.

I am trying to use sshfs (2.2.0) and macfuse (2.0.3) along with emacs (23.2.1).
Many times when I try to save a file that I am editing from the remote file system I get the error:
file.txt has changed since last visited or saved; save anyway?
Occasionally I then get the error:
file.txt is write-protected; save anyway?
Are there any options I can use when mounting the file system that would make this work without the errors? I have tried turning caching off (-o cache=N) which made the error show up every time I tried to save a file.
