Thanks it worked, I recently upgrade Trixie to 13.6 and in my log 
results that sshfs was updated:

root@itek:~# grep -i --color sshfs upgrade-trixie_1.script
   libixml11t64               libtdb1                        sshfs

earlier sshfs read all symlinks in that directory 
(/media/raspberrypi/etc/alternatives/). The ssh server is on 
old-old-stable version: "OpenSSH_8.4p1 Debian-5+deb11u6, OpenSSL 1.1.1w 
11 Sep 2023".

Maybe some misbehavior it was introduced with the new version of sshfs.

Kind regards,
