[sshfs] Error mounting fs: fuse: unknown option `max_write=65536'

[Christian De S. <de....@gm...>]

Hi, I can't get sshfs to work on my pc. When I try to mount a remote fs 
i get the following error message:

fuse: unknown option `max_write=65536'

I'm running fuse-2.5.3, openssh-5.0p1 and sshfs-2.0 on a Slackware 12.0 
with kernel 2.6.23.12 on both the machines.
Please can you help me?
Thanks
C.
