Mark,
Try creating the following plist file com.apple.DiskArbitration.diskarbitrationd.plist in this  location:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.DiskArbitration.diskarbitrationd.plist

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist SYSTEM "file://localhost/System/Library/DTDs/PropertyList.dtd">
<plist version="0.9">
   <dict>
      <key>DAMountDeferExternal</key>
      <false/>
   </dict>
</plist>
 
Thanks!  I think the easier way to do that is to use the defaults command:

 sudo defaults write \
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.DiskArbitration.diskarbitrationd \
DAMountDeferExternal -bool true

autodiskmount \ AutomountDisksWithoutUserLogin -bool true

Thanks... but the man page says autodiskmount has been deprecated, presumably in favor of diskarbitrationd?  

I did the first one, and next time I'm connecting in remotely I'll see if it worked. 

Thanks to everyone who answered.
