Could the remount be done in that other service?

General approach when only part of a job requires root:
1. Set the remount program permissions to
-r-sr-xr-- root foo
(i.e. setuid root, executable only by group foo).
The program must be an executable binary, not a script.
2. Ensure that the service which will run the remounter
-- and only that service -- runs as group "foo".
