How about using autofs? I'd write a script for autofs which would
check, say the UUID, and then automatically mount it.
However, one thing I wouldn't know is whether this would supercede
the current (udev based) automounting feature; my experience is that
it works well.
Should you need some information on autfs scripts, please let me know.
I would definitely be happy to know more about it.

My purpose in doing this is to automount an USB
drive.
http://www.autofs.org has much information, but if you want to
mount it using a script, specify a script in the /etc/auto.master
file. For the scripts I adapted, I used this tutorial, which does much
more than what you want, but you should be able to simplify it:
http://www.einval.com/~steve/docs/gpg-autofs.html
Please let me know if you want some more specific information, but the
autofs website should be sufficient; the latter is much more detailed
for a specific task, and mostly unneeded, IMHO.
HTH.

In a multiuser system you may like to monitor all su attempts.
Edit /etc/login.defs and edit SULOG_FILE as follows:
