Hmmm. Strange. Although, as I said, I've never done this myself. You aren't
by any chance mounting _both_ ways with 'sshfs' are you? That is, mounting the
phone on the backup server, _and_ mounting the backup server on the phone?
Seems like that would create a recursive loop ... ?
Otherwise, when time permits, I can try some tests between two Linux machines
(sadly, my phone isn't set up for 'ssh' and friends).
Cheers
Leland
