The "reconnect" functionality in sshfs is not suited for all scenarios
on OS X. It can be improved with some programming. Given that sshfs is
open source, somebody interested can always help out.

You don't have to restart any "macfuse/sshfs services". You can simply
unmount such stubborn mounts like this:

umount -f /Users/plummie/Documents/stanford

Use the absolute pathname to the mount point. If that doesn't work,
try the same command as root:

sudo umount -f ...
