I just don't understand a thing you are saying....

You started out by saying you wanted to write a script that does some
mounting...from your own post...

"It automatically mounts a drive that contains my Desktop directory. 
Hence, I need it to work before nautilus does. It specifically is a
per-user mount, so I can't have it globally automount at computer startup."

So folks here have been talking about ways to mount things automatically
using standard tools ... but now you reject advice due to FAT32.  But
your script that would mount would be mounting a FAT32 device/file
system, yes?

So, I don't known what in blazes your script would do differently and
why your way would work and others won't.

So...OK...  I give up....

I am 100% certain that if I were in your shoes I could get things to
work just fine without any kind of script or roadblock that you keep
throwing up.

Good luck...
