Can't you mount something to multiple mount points? In other words just ignore the automount and mount it where you want it in parallel?
One automount culprit on a Pi anyway is the GUI file manager. In Preferences -> Volume Management there are 3 checkboxes related to automount. Another could be if you have auto entries in your /etc/fstab. I killed all I could find months ago, don't remember where they were. Or grep the output of mount or lsof for the mount points. I usually look at the output of dmesg when I plug an SD in to see what partitions it has and how to mount (what they're called). Or sfdisk -l if that fails. gparted is handy to have around too.
