Mount sshfs at startup

Hey,
I've been trying to automatically mount a directory using sshfs on startup but always failed :-(
I used /etc/fstab but i didn't work, now I tried following the explanation in this thread but it doesn't work neither!

I created a service file: /etc/systemd/system/custom-mounts.service with this content:

[Unit]
Description=Custom network mount points

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/custom-mounts

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then I enabled and started the service file...

sudo systemctl enable custom-mounts.service 
sudo systemctl start custom-mounts.service

but nothing happened.

The content of the script /usr/bin/custom-mounts is:

#!/bin/bash
# Mounts a development project into personal development folder
sshfs developer@grocery.devel:/home/developer/web/grocery.devel/public_html/ /home/mlopez/Development/hsm

Files are:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 mlopez mlopez 182 dic  3 12:37 /usr/bin/custom-mounts*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 132 dic  3 12:35 /etc/systemd/system/custom-mounts.service*

I have also connected using ssh keys with user developer and root before and if i run /usr/bin/custom-mounts, it does mount the directory correctly!

But when I start the custom-mount service and ask for the status I get an error message:

● custom-mounts.service - Custom network mount points
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/custom-mounts.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2018-12-03 13:17:31 -03; 3s ago
  Process: 18637 ExecStart=/usr/bin/custom-mounts (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
 Main PID: 18637 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

dic 03 13:17:30 maujaro-main systemd[1]: Started Custom network mount points.
[b]dic 03 13:17:31 maujaro-main custom-mounts[18637]: sshfs: bad mount point `/home/mlopez/Development/hsm': Permission denied[/b]

dic 03 13:17:31 maujaro-main systemd[1]: custom-mounts.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

What am I doing wrong? Why permissions aren't right if it's the same user mlopez?

What am I doing wrong?

You are seeking support for a Manjaro system on the Arch Linux forums, something you explicitly agreed not to do when you registered for your account.

Closing, for deletion.

Apologies, it seems dyslexia got the better of me in this instance. Reopened.

Have you read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SSHFS#On_boot?
