Sshfs script

Hi, I am new to this forum.

I want to setup my personal Dropbox between my home server and the work station in the office.

I followed this tutorial

danbishop.org/2011/09/10/...-in-os-x-lion/and it works great. Smilie

The trouble now is I am not sure how I can make it to start on boot.

I have to enter this command every time after a reboot.
sshfs user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/Volumes/data/myDropbox /Volumes/data/Desktop/myDropbox
then enter the password.

After some research I made this script called myDropbox.sh

#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn sshfs user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/Volumes/data/htdocs/myDropbox /Volumes/data/Desktop/myDropbox
expect "Password"
send "myPwd\r"
interact

When I run it in Terminal, it seems like it was going to mount because after the password it returns to the $ prompt.
but it doesn't mount. Smilie

Can someone tell me what I did wrong?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I am on OSX 10.8.2

NAME
face - executable for the Framed Access Command Environment Interface SYNOPSIS
face [-i init_file] [-c command_file] [-a alias_file] [filename...] DESCRIPTION
The Framed Access Command Environment Interface (FACE) presents your files and file folders on the screen through a system of menus and forms if you are properly set up as a FACE user. filename must follow the naming convention Menu.xxx for a menu, Form.xxx for a form, and Text.xxx for a text file, where xxx is any string that conforms to the UNIX system file naming conventions. The Form and Menu Language Interpreter (FMLI) descriptor lifetime will be ignored for all frames opened by argument to face. These frames have a lifetime of immortal by default. If filename is not specified on the command line, the FACE Menu will be opened along with those objects specified by the LOGINWIN environment variables. These variables are found in the user's .environ file. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -a alias_file Alias file -c command_file Command file -i init_file Initial file OPERANDS
The following operand is supported: filename The full pathname of the file describing the object to be opened initially. EXIT STATUS
The face command will return a non-zero exit value if the user is not properly set up as a FACE user. FILES
