I have found this to be all that is necessary.  Add to ~/.emacs.

(if (string-match "^\\(/tmp_mnt/net\\)/" default-directory)
    (setq default-directory (substring default-directory (match-end 1))))

I have never seen emacs present me with a pathname that contained /tmp_mnt
that was not a result of the fact that /tmp_mnt was a component of the
pathname of the directory which was current when emacs was launched.  This
might not be the case if you have link-chasing on, though.
