You could just share /mnt

Alternatively, you could muck about with udev to get a line for mounting 
it in a fixed place. Your distribution might help with this.

For example on Ubuntu, filesystems on removable disks are mounted to 
/media/${FSLABEL} so maybe just setting the label on the filesystem 
would solve it.
