Are they the same drives each time, or a series of similar but different drives? If the same, you could tell fstab to not mount them.

As a quick and dirty alternative… first find out the x-y coordinates of a point within the dialogue. A simple way to do that is to type command-shift-4 and move the cursor to some place over the dialogue and make note of the coordinates. Then put something like this in a script: tell application "System Events" to click at {230, 400} and it should return some info you can use in your script. I don't run your OS so I'll leave it at that but hopefully this gives you something.
