Forgot to add: the two directories are imported "dynamically" on the 
client side. So I can't just make fstab entries on the client side to 
mount both points. I use AMD to mount /net/store when needed. And I can't 
for the life of me figure how to make it mount /net/store/photos too when 
needed -- I dont think that's possible(?) ...
