I was not able to find a command line method to automount a windows 
share either. If you don't mind this mouse clicking procedure, click on 
"Go" on the Finder bar, choose "connect to a server", click on the NT 
domain/server name in the window that appears (the window will look like 
what used to be Chooser in pre-OS X), choose the share you want, 
somewhere along the road there will be an option to auto-reconnect.. I 
think by clicking on 'Advanced' on the userid/password dialog box and 
checking the box that says "add password to the keychain". I don't have 
a MacOS X box handy so it's all from memory but that should be enough to 
steer you in the right direction.
