Indeed, the required steps are

  - install sshfs
  - add the user to the fuse group (Sytem->Administration->Users and 
    Groups can do this).
  - Restart the session.

It's a lot to put in to the dialog, but some pointers would help.
Perhaps it could be put in to a help document and a reference put in
the dialog instead.

Thanks,

James
