Are you saying you use a remote ftp based server as your backuppc 
archive storage?  I wouldn't expect that to work at all unless it 
supports hardlinks through the fuse interface - which doesn't seem possible.

In any case, linux distributions usually have an automounter that will 
mount filesystems on demand as they are accessed and unmount after a 
timeout. The setup probably varies with the distribution.
