I see this bug is still open.  I'm not familiar with smbfs, but I get
the same error as in the original report with user's networked files:

/etc/cron.weekly/checksecurity:
find: `/my/mount/point': Permission denied
find: `/my/mount/point': Permission denied
find: `/my/mount/point': Permission denied

where /my/mount/point is of type fuse.sshfs.

While the behavior described by Justin (quoted below) may look like an
actual malfunction or error, hiding remote files is a designed feature
of sshfs.  I reported the latter as bug# 724690.

Note:  The mountpoint does not appear among find's arguments, as it is
correctly filtered by grep.  It is encountered while descending from
/.  AFAIK there is no way find can learn that it is crossing a
filesystem boundary, because if I try to stat the mountpoint as root,
I get a 'Permission denied' error, each and every time.
