I plan to do all my backups to this drive. Without backup I feel pretty naked when it comes to trying to get the partition to mount at start up. I don't need all my files screwed up.  I am not really sure mounting is the problem.

Not sure how your getting to your external hard drive. Mine has a 
regular USB cable and it always shows up as /media/disk/. My rsync file 
tells it to put the backup on /media/disk/ and it does.
