Mount remote directory over sshfs on Windows host through ubuntu guest?

I am trying to achieve something that i am not sure if it is possible. I have ubuntu server as virtualbox guest machine and Windows 7 host. The shared folder between the host and guest machine is mounted in /media/sf_Shared on the ubuntu guest, the folder location on the host machine is e:\Shared. Inside the sf_Shared folder i created new folder 'mnt' and mounted the remote folder over sshfs:
Code:

sshfs user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/remote_folder /media/sf_Shared/mnt/
The remote folder was mounted successfully but if i open the folder from the host - Windows 7, the folder is empty. Is it possible to mount remote folder over sshfs using mount point inside the shared folder and the mounted folder to be accessible from the host?
