Hi;

Once i needed something like this, and what I did was a very simple 
script that runs when the system starts using rc.local. Of course before
using this script, I have to define first the mounting points in 
/etc/fstab. Whit this after all process starts, rc.local searches for
local scripts in this case my script: mount.sh.

Hope this helps.

Regards
