So I have now added "remote-fs-pre.target" to achieve this. You should
now be able to order your service after "network.target" and before
"remote-fs-pre.target" so that you are run after the network is
configured but before the remote mount points are mounted.

Note that remote-fs-pre.target is a hook you need to pull in yourself,
as we do no pull it in normally (in order to keep the transaction minimal). i.e. you need to write this in your unit:

[Unit]
After=network.target
Before=remote-fs-pre.target
Wants=remote-fs-pre.target

This should appear in F16 soon.
