There might be a more detailed error in console.

I have unfortunately found that a lot of file systems does a poor job at setting proper flags for what they support and setting errno to the proper error code on failure.

So I wouldn’t at all be surprised that sshfs has a problem with setxattr(). It probably should have set errno to ENOTSUP, assuming sshfs does not emulate extended attributes.
