OK, I don't see how that is possible because something would either be
mounted as nfs or sshfs, not one over the other.   But if the
intermediate host is allowed to ssh (as it must for sshfs to work) I'd
throw a bunch of disk space at the problem and rsync a copy to the
intermediate host, then rsync from there to the target at the other
data center.  Or work out a way to do port-fowarding over ssh
connections from the intermediate host.
