Ultimately my intention is to mount and unmount this remote disk via a
command line on the second Pi, so that it can be part of the nightly
backup script.  One reason for this is because I found (with my previous
working setup, obviously) that the second Pi takes a very long time to
shut down if the remote disk is mounted, so I wanted to make sure it was
unmounted whenever it wasn't actively in use.

I don't know how you "backup" your data. But if it's about syncing the two discs, then I'd recommend you look into rsync. No need to mount, no need to set up a share or what not. Just use rsync over ssh to sync the two folders.
