So, create a script to search the list of available drives to find the
myscripts directory and do the mount for them if /myscripts doesn't exist.  The
way you've set it up, the user has to remember every time that the current
device must be the device containing myscripts.  What I'm suggesting, it won't
matter which device is the current device.
