TimeMachine & Spotlight on remotely mounted volumes (afp)



 Greetings

How is the 'automatic' mounting managed? Is there an equivalent to fstab file?

I have a Time Capsule at home, and I have set it to broadcast globaly
through a dynamic ip.
When I'm on the road I use a fairly slow Verizon Wireless card,
bandwith capped at 5gb.
OSX automatically mounts the remote volume, and time machine attempts
to perform a backup
every hour, but it never completes, partly due to mds indexers failing
for a multitude of reasons.

At home, via wifi, it mounts under my own username, remotely it seems
to mount as root.
in those cases, if I ask finder to mount afp://my-global-hostname, it
ends up being mounted twice.

Mounted twice, once as root, once as myself:
> % mount
> /dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled)
> afp_0W9mTQ11Oen600m4oF0Pyetl-1.2e000004 on /Volumes/Antaeus (afpfs)
> /dev/disk1s2 on /Volumes/Backup of acheron (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, journaled)
> afp_0W9mTQ11Oen600m4oF0Pyetl-1.2e000005 on /Volumes/Antaeus-1 (afpfs, nodev, nosuid, mounted by achille)

Log from a failing backupd: http://pastebin.ca/1069501
Log from the failing mds: http://pastebin.ca/1069523 (out of space,
but due to backups)

In most other cases, after each backup, mds will start indexing and
never complete.

In all cases, Finder fails to show me anything relevant, even at home,
sometimes, it will show the time capsule, but not mount the volume.
