You may want to change the definition of `efs-dumb-unix-listing-regexp'
to:

(defconst efs-dumb-unix-listing-regexp
  (concat
   "^[Uu]sage: +ls +-[a-zA-Z0-9]+[ \n]\\|"
   "^Only ls flags accepted are\\|"
   ;; Unitree server
   "^Error getting stats for \"-[a-zA-Z0-9]+\""))

I'll put this in the upcoming EFS 1.17.
