Lighttpd can't get files mounted via sshfs

I've got a CentoOS 6 server with a directory mounted via sshfs from my Mac directory:

sshfs -o allow_other [email protected]:/Users/dmitri/Sites /var/www/html

but when I try to start lighttpd server, I get an error:

Starting lighttpd: 2013-11-20 10:34:43: (configfile.c.989) opening configfile  /var/www/html/www.example.ru/public/_engine/lighttpd.conf failed: Permission denied

Lighttpd user is lighttpd, BUT when I'm swithing to user lighttpd:

su lighttpd -s /bin/bash

I can read any files in mounted directory:

bash-4.1$ whoami
lighttpd
bash-4.1$ cat /var/www/html/www.example.ru/public/_engine/lighttpd.conf
server.error-handler-404 = "/zf2.php/404"
...

I can't understand why it happens and how to make lighttpd work.

PS (mb it would be useful):

bash-4.1$ whoami
lighttpd
bash-4.1$ pwd
/var/www/html/www.example.ru/public/_engine
bash-4.1$ ls -lh
