Strongly disagree here. Asking for passwords, and other items that involves the UI, should be taken care of by the mount program in question. As an aside we also want the mount program to read user preferences from e.g. gconf. Also, we want a well-defined error reporting interface. Using pipes, screen-scraping and what-not, as we do now, is just something that should be avoided.
