Just found the bug, but i am not a good cs programmer to debug this. But
I think i can point out the root cause of this problem.

This note is on Tomboy 1.2.1

Apparently when you are trying create an sshfs sync, tomboy create a
lock file in the following folder

~/.cache/tomboy

This lock file is not duly deleted upon sshfs mounting failure. If you
have been caught with mounting failure such as mounting with wrong
credential or an denied folder on the server, the lock file will be
retained in that folder. You will then get mount is not empty error.

Manually remove the lock file will do the job until you can successfully mount the remote folder. 
rm -r ~/.cache/tomboy/lock

Goog luck.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: tomboy

Trying to sync over ssh to a remote server and it's erroring with:-

"Error connecting :(
An error ocurred while connecting to the specified server:

fuse: mountpoint isnot empty
fuse: if you are sure this is safe use the 'nonempty' mount option"

I have had syncing working intermittently, but now it refuses to work. I have it working to the same server, same user, same key on another PC, but on this one, it no longer syncs.

^^ that's all I get in the .tomboy.log
