Isn't this known lossage (from the comments in efs-auto.el):

;;; Provides a way of autoloading efs. To use this, just put
;;; (require 'efs-auto in your .emacs file.
;;;
;;; The Bad News:
;;; 
;;; 1. Calls to load and require will not trigger efs to autoload.
;;;    If you are want to put remote directories in your load path,
;;;    you should require efs.
;;; 2. Because efs does not overload expand-file-name until it is loaded,
;;;    "smart" expansion of file names on remote apollos running domain

;;;    the details of your command sequence.
