I have observed that OSXFUSE is a bit tricky, though I don't know exactly why, and brew tries to avoid changing the system, so using it to manage kernel extensions is not a good idea. I suggest using the packaged installers for OSXFUSE and SSHFS from http://osxfuse.github.io/ instead of using brew.
