To disable this option

Open file

/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.policy

On line number 34

      <allow_active>auth_admin_keep</allow_active>

replace it by
       <allow_active>yes</allow_active>

Or visit
http://thegeekbox.com/2009/11/mount-partitions-without-password-in-ubuntu-karmic/

Then you can write a small script to mount the partition and add it to
cronjob.

Also I think *SharedT6N* folder is created on the fly, so you need to mount
to a folder which is existing and empty

I really don't have knowledge on Fstab, so on. So my suggestions may be
novice.
