We have the same situation at work, I have root on my desktop so I'm not
allowed to NFS mount the fileserver.
Have you looked at shfs, it allows you to mount filesystems using ssh, so
you can just use key authentication so theres no need for passwords.
I've used it on a patched kernel without probems.
