I found this script from http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20050215082247458, but I'll reproduce it below.
Open up Script Editor and paste in:
set sfiles to "afp://user:pass@host/volume"
tell application "Finder"
mount volume sfiles
end tell
Replace sfiles with the appropriate details of your AFP volume.
Add ...

You can put aliases to the remote volumes in your Login Items folder.
A nice explanation of this feature is available from Apple on the web and the built-in help:

Synology has a few solutions. Their products are reliable and affordable.
There are multiple applications you can install in a few clicks but for S3 backups you will have to go the manual way.

I have seen this happen when there is already a volume with the given name and the OS needs to create a new name to mount the volume as you can't have a duplicate name -- thus the suffix.
The first thing to do is, make sure that you don't have any other volumes with the same name. If you do, perhaps you can rename one or only use one at a time.
I've also ...

You should try the transfer in FTP only because FTP sets it's own "MTU". If this sends files very quickly, you are looking at a TCP fragmentation issue, i.e., you are sending TCP packets too large for the router to handle on it's own. I imagine you can tweak the Mac network settings to force fragmentation to 1500 or less per packet.

Radio interference? How many other wifi spots are nearby? How many are using the same channel as you? Does this only happen with AFP or does it happen with other protocols as well (e.g., HTTP, CIFS, etc)? Are you using A/B/G/N?
What's the memory usage look like on both systems? Is one (or both) maxed out? The traffic seems very bursty. This could indicate ...

It turned out that the issue was indeed different UIDs though the usernames were the same.
From the Apple Support Communities link:
borbye:
The first user that is established on an OSX disc is given UID number
501. Normally next user is given UID 502. In my case I could not import my existing user during first run with my new MB Air. Had to

TL;DR
Use AppleScript, but do not specify the user name or password.
Background
In my case, none of the suggestions that I found online worked perfectly.
I had several AFP volumes that I wanted to mount automatically. Following the advice given here and elsewhere, the obvious solution seemed to be an AppleScript file with something along these lines:

It seems that obsolete iDisk settings in OSX 10.8 may prevent you to connect to a file server.
You need to run those commands in Terminal
defaults delete -g iToolsMember
defaults delete -g iToolsMemberDomain
to get rid of those settings.

I have a shell script that I run via a launchd plist every few minutes to automount an NAS drive. I use it from home to mount my NAS as it contains our shared iTunes Media folder.
You can look at the script Code on Pastebin.
I you have questions about the code I'll be happy to discuss. It has a lots of error checking etc. Using a shell script and a launchd ...

1.
Edit the file /Applications/Tunnelblick.app/Contents/Resources/client.up.osx.sh and add these commands at the end of the file, just before exit 0 :
su USERNAME -c '
mkdir /Volumes/TimeCapsule
mount_afp afp://afp_username@server/volumename /Volumes/TimeCapsule
'
open /Volumes/TimeCapsule
Replace USERNAME with your username on the system.

Then add ...

You could forward port 548 to your MBP server to get back the old behavior of allowing afp://** to connect to your MPB server instead of your TimeCapsule. This would definitely make your TimeCapsule AFP server inaccessible from the Internet and might (but I would hope not) make it inaccessible from your LAN. Try it and see. Here is one of many web pages ...

I've got the same problem.
I used a .dmg mounted on my imac to store time machine backups for my macbook pro over the network.
Since upgrading to mountain lion I'm unable to access the network share from other macs. This seems to be the case for all .dmg files that I've tried to share over afp.

I find GoodReader to be the best. I consider it as my iOS Finder (by lack of better solutions, sadly).
It supports a wide range of protocols and web services such as AFP, WebDAV, FTP, SFTP, Dropbox, Box.net, Google Docs, SugarSync, IMAP and POP3. It used to support iCloud as well, but the feature is gone for stability and legal reasons.
It also makes it ...

This is a broadcast packet issue.
Bonjour (and a number of similar broadcast protocols) operate by sending an informational packet to 'everybody.' When your router (Airport) - and the Mac - receive packets, they open them, observe the recipient, and forward it to the appropriate location. This is where things get tricky, because when a broadcast packet is ...

Internet sharing on MacPro1 is acting as a router and doing NAT. The protocol used for discovery of other Macs on the 192.168.2.x network probably doesn't cross routers, which is normally what you want on a local network. The best way to fix this is to put an Ethernet switch or hub between MacPro1 and AirportExpress. Then plug both MacPro1 and MacPro2 into ...

Installing Bonjour (aka Zeroconf) doesn't help. Bonjour only announces existing services.
If the server only serves AFP the client needs to understand AFP. The only Windows AFP client I knew was PC MacLan (http://store.ca.com/miramar/miramar.aspx) which seems not to be sold any more. (I still have it installed on an XP box.)
The often cited Microsoft ...

It turns out that, as I suspected, a paranoid security configuration was preventing AFP from working.
In particular, the machine had been "hardened" per Apple's security configuration guide in which chapter 9 describes how to disable AFP by unloading the com.apple.afpfs_afpLoad dæmon (I had thought it was only required to serve files, not also to connect to ...

My headhurts from fixing this.
I found this discussion thread which allowed me to enable Time Machine Sharing for more than one volume. It's not as tricky as it sounds, but you do need to go step by step.
The only things I had to do that weren't in this discussion thread were:
I had to log in as root. Root was disabled in my server, so I had to enable ...

I, too, find this a pain with my QNAP box. FYI the firmware has now been updated to 3.6.0 released just a few days ago, and there is some noticeable improvement with the update. However, you may consider using the iSCSI feature among the QNAP settings to make the file shares appear as a hard drive showing up on your desktop for better speed. I've noticed ...

There are different levels of ease with which you can approach this, perhaps taking training or hiring a consultant would be your best bet to help you make the best decision on how to proceed. That being said, here's two ways to begin to accomplish what you're asking:
Netbooting the computers from a centrally served image allows you to maintain the entire ...

Well... You will need to run Open Directory, and set up network home folders within there.
Then, when yous OD clients log into yous Macs, they will be given access to their home folder from the server.
For mobile users, you will want to set up a Mobile Home Folder, perhaps with HomeSync.
Check out these documents from Apple:

Well, I ask for the information (CMD-I) of the secondary drive, and set the "shared" box. Then afp is able to mount the secondary disk. Some difficulty may arise from "symbolic links" between drive (the links you create with unix command ln -s ), and I had to use "hard link" ("create alias" from Finder menu, and probably Unix command "ln ", without option ...

I just tried the same thing, without any problems... Do you use user accounts to authenticate the users on the time capsule ? If yes, you should probably configure it to use the airport network. With this, both users will connect with the same "account", and should be able to use the same share concurrently (that works for me)
Here is a screen cap of the ...

It turns out that along with the real static IP that is set in the Drobo Dasbhoard each Drobo was assigned a local link address. After some digging around in the firmware I found that both Drobo's were just binding themselves to: 169.254.213.234 without checking if another device was using this address.
This is why Finder was showing DroboA as DroboB as it ...

It is not possible to access server shares from Apple's iOS. iOS does not have a Samba or AFP client, and thus, cannot handle these requests.
Time Capsule uses modified AirPort Extreme firmware and supports AFP and SMB file-sharing protocols.
Unfortunately, this is the extent of your capabilities of accessing files on Time Capsule from iOS. Sorry :(

Have you set it up like the Lion Server Administration article quoted below?
Time Machine service offers a backup destination on your server to Time Machine users. Use the Time Machine pane of the Server app to make server disk space available for backing up users’ computers, or to change the disk used for storing user backups.
Time Machine service is ...

Look at http://netatalk-ddwrt.blogspot.com/
Try the builds mentioned and install them on your router with the following commands:
ipkg install libdb_4.7.25-3_mipsel.ipk
ipkg install netatalk_2.2.0-2_mipsel.ipk
make sure that you use
ipkg install libdb_4.7.25-3_mipsel.ipk -force-downgrade
in case your libdb version is newer than 4.7.24.
Best regards,

Indeed you can script it all from terminal.
You will want to learn a little about launchd - that will specify when the mount will happen. At $5 the Lingon app from the App Store is great if you don't want to learn launchd configuration files.
Next, you'll need a command to make the AFP mount.
Last, you might learn security command to store or retrieve a ...
