Unable to make backups to sshfs share

[Ouji]

Hi. I've trying to run backup jobs overnight in a sshfs share, but I keep getting an access denied error

ERROR: Backup of VM 100 failed - mkdir /mnt/vzsnap0: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/VZDump/LXC.pm line 161.

I already changed my /etc/vzdump.conf tempdir variable to several different values, such as /tmp or /var/tmpdir (this one I created myself first), but it doesn't seem to help. It feels like it is ignoring the value and trying to mount on the system where the share is located for no reason at all.
If it's worth nothing, I'm running all my backups in stop mode.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you!

* On a quick hunch (without testing) - how do you mount the sshfs? (`mount` output probably tells enough)
* Can you write to the sshfs-mount as user root? (`echo "test" > /<sshfsmountpoint>/test`)

I hope this helps!
