Thanks!

This worked perfectly. Adding the 'fuse' module the /etc/module allows the module to load at start up.

Another issue I found was adding a trailing slash to the mount point (e.g. sshfs <username>@<host> mnt_ssh/) does not correctly mount the remote filesystem. Removing the '/' in 'mnt_ssh/' did the trick. Now, everything works as expected.

Thanks for your help!
