I've installed OSXFUSE in my mac and used sshfs to mount a remote directory. Now I would like to unmount it, but can't find the way. My OS is OSX 10.8 Mountain. Can anyone help?

Try this:

umount -f <absolute pathname to the mount point>

Example:

umount -f /Users/plummie/Documents/stanford

If that doesn't work, try the same command as root: 

sudo umount -f ...
