Hello Hans,
for SMB shares it seems to work.
But I think there is an issue with NFS shares:
I checked the options: Custom Path and “Do not create sub-directory for mounting” / Mount-Point: ~/mnt
When I mount the path I get the following output in the Log Window:

Then it looks at it wis OK – but the Folder where the NFS Share is mounted is:
Mount path: /Users/christian/mnt/mnt (dxp4800-plus)
And I think this should be:
Mount path: /Users/christian/mnt/backup (dxp4800-plus)
In the Mac Finder it looks good – but the second NFS-Mount with the same setting produces this error:

That's a lot of stuff to read 😉
Going through you message, my first question would be: why check “Do not create sub-directory for mounting”?
Ideally you make one directory (~/mnt) where all mounts will appear for which you set a custom path.
ConnectMeNow will then use the share directory/name to create a sub directory in ~/mnt and on unmount (theoretically anyway) remove it.
With this option checked, I'm surprised to see this:
16:38:39 │ - Active share: home-christian (dxp4800-plus)(Path: /Users/christian/mnt/home-christian (dxp4800-plus))
16:38:39 │ - Active share: Media-Common (dxp4800-plus)(Path: /Users/christian/mnt/Media-Common (dxp4800-plus))
16:38:39 │ - Active share: Media-Own (dxp4800-plus)(Path: /Users/christian/mnt/Media-Own (dxp4800-plus))
16:38:39 │ - Active share: paperless (dxp4800-plus)(Path: /Users/christian/mnt/paperless (dxp4800-plus))
16:38:39 │ - Active share: Storage (dxp4800-plus)(Path: /Users/christian/mnt/Storage (dxp4800-plus))
16:38:39 │ - Active share: Storage-NB (dxp4800-plus)(Path: /Users/christian/mnt/Storage-NB (dxp4800-plus))
16:38:39 │ - Active share: TEMP (dxp4800-plus)(Path: /Users/christian/mnt/TEMP (dxp4800-plus))
The error would be (best guess, I may need more coffee to wake up some more haha): if ~/mnt is the custom path, and “Do not create sub-directory for mounting” is checked, then the first mount will be mounted against ~/mnt, which works, but then the second mount will try that as well, but cannot do this since ~/mnt is already in use as a mount point.
Best would be to UNcheck “Do not create sub-directory for mounting”, set the custom path (of all the shares) to "~/mnt".
No for each mount a new directory will be created in ~/mnt.
Bear with me though, and correct me if I misunderstoord, because I'm still not sure where these mounts come from:
16:44:57 │ - Active share: home-christian (dxp4800-plus)(Path: /Users/christian/mnt/home-christian (dxp4800-plus))
16:44:57 │ - Active share: Media-Common (dxp4800-plus)(Path: /Users/christian/mnt/Media-Common (dxp4800-plus))
