At our site, there is an easy fix to avoid /tmp_mnt/'s creeping into emacs on most occasions. Just make sure that wherever you start your emacs, the PWD environment variable is set to what you consider to be a reasonable directory name. The easiest way to accomplish this is to set PWD to be HOME when you log in, or in your .xinitrc, if that's what you use to start up X clients. e.g., my .xinitrc says something like #!/bin/csh -f setenv PWD $HOME ... emacs & .... Also, don't ever give /tmp_mnt/* as a pathname to emacs! This won't prevent /tmp_mnt from ever appearing in pathname prompts, but it should keep you from seeing it most of the time.
