I think this has already been fixed in svn. But what you can try is to see if it makes a difference running freevo as root. I'm curious to see if there is a difference between running as root and non-root. The mounts and un-mounts are important otherwise the disc will be locked in the drive. After the first mount, following mounts are very quick. Using an automounter will be slower than the normal mount command. There are a lot of additional complications when not running freevo as root, if the box is a standalone HTPC it really is not very dangerous using root as all the access is performed through the UI.
