You want to determine what sharing method you would like to use (nfs,cifs) 
etc and then probably use autofs to automatically mount the remote 
filesystem when your local script gets called, and then the automounter 
will unmount XX # of seconds later .. which I belive is set in 
/etc/sysconfig/autofs ..
