That'll solve the problem, but not the cause. The /etc/mtab~ file
is a lock file for mount, and mount should delete it itself.

Apparently your mount eigher doesn't exit properly (maybe it's trying
to mount nfs volumes in the background?), or it's killed for
some other reason.
What does:
$ ps -ax|grep [m]ount
output on your system (is mount still running)?
And during boot, when the "mount -avt" comes, what does mount say?
(or maybe there are other mount calls, like the nfs mount one.).
