I've just tried this again and it succeeded. I was using sshfs.
To be honest, I'm not sure now if this was anything more than me misunderstanding the syntax. I don't remember the original syntax I was using so I can't be sure.
For a start, uid= and gid= seem only to accept numerical ids. So it's likely I was just being dumb. (Though the error messages are exactly the same as in the FAQ).

Sorry about this.
