All linux distros (but most especially Debian and Ubuntu) need to do a much 
better job writing initialization scripts (something the generic open-vm-tools 
package on SourceForge intentionally does not provide). Perhaps package 
maintainers should actually read the OpenVM Packaging wiki before making 
packages ;-) 

You are probably encountering a timing issue by using fstab. The open-vm 
script in /etc/init.d has probably not yet loaded the vmhgfs module. Most 
people just put the hgfs mount command somewhere in the script after 'modprobe 
vmhgfs'.
