You were so close.

should work fine. (Does for me, at least.)
This is closest to documented here:

AFP in Mac OS X is generally TCP/IP, and definitely is so under Mac OS X 10.4 and later. When using TCP/IP instead of AppleTalk, don't use the older AppleTalk-style "with user" or "with password" parameters, and instead encode them in the URL.
I would agree that it *should* work with the old syntax, but it *does* work with the URL syntax. It's been this way for many years, as noted on this page (along with ways to automount from the command line):
