automount specific USB-disk to specified path

I was just talking to a friend of mine about a problem I have, and he suggested that udev could probably help me. Allthough he couldn't give me any hints on how to accomplish what i want to.

I have read the manual and searched google, but without any good info... here's the thing...

I am running Debian Etch, and have 3 USB disks.
I would like to give them "names" in order to correctly automount them to some specific path.

For simplicity, lets call the Seagate, Maxtor and Samsung.
I would like to allways mount them into /share/USB/Seagate, /share/USB/Maxtor and /share/USB/Samsung
The problem is just that they never have the same devicename. Seagate can at one time be sda1, and the next sdc1.

How can I make it so that no matter what devicename the disks got, the Seagate disks allways automounts in /share/USB/Seagate and so on?
