For people finding this answer in the future, most of what your answer is dong is getting the folder to mount itself on bootup by editing the rc files. This is unnecessarily complicated. The line "sudo mount -t fuse.vmhgfs-fuse .host:/ /mnt/hgfs -o allow_other" is where all of the magic happens. Because it's a complicated command, I recommend to the average user to make it an alias that you can either run yourself, or put into ~.bashrc which will run when you launch your shell, effectively auto-mounting it. In general, you shouldn't mess with rc files in /etc. Glad it works for you though.
