Why am I getting 'Operation not permitted' errors when backing up on sshfs?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
By default, ``sshfs`` is not entirely POSIX-compliant when renaming files due to
a technicality in the SFTP protocol. Fortunately, it also provides a workaround_
to make it behave correctly::
sshfs -o workaround=rename user@host:dir /mnt/dir
