SSHFS and truecrypt?

[stewart_butler]

Is there any way to properly mount a truecrypt volume over sshfs? For some reason whenever I attempt to mount it it gives me a Permission Denied error; I was thinking that this may be a result of bad permissions, but as far as I can tell it should work fine.

If this is in the wrong forum, please move it; I wasn't sure if it is an sshfs problem or a truecrypt problem, so I put it here.

I don't know how sshfs works internally, but if it just accesses files like any other application does (on the VFS layer), the type of the underlying filesystem(s) should not matter at all, i.e. you could even mount sshfs over sshfs (although it would probably be horribly slow). This shouldn't be related to truecrypt at all, so you have to look into permissions (the ssh user must be allowed read access to the directory tree you are trying to mount).
