Mounting PIN-Locked Phone On Raspberry Pi

I want to automatically (via cron) mount my Android phone's file system onto a Raspberry Pi. I can do this manually. I got a Samba server running on the phone and I can do a 'mount' command on the Pi. The issue is that I have PIN-level security set on my phone (and I can't disable it - it's forced by my work) so when I do the 'mount' command I have to enter the phone's PIN on the Raspberry Pi's keyboard. I've tried to get the script to read input from a file - but it won't do it.

Does anyone have any idea how I could get around this so I can mount the file system without human intervention?

Thanks.

Yes - that would work. However I'm trying to figure out if I can make this happen without interacting with it at all. I'd like to use Tasker on the phone to turn on the Samba server at a pre-determined time. Then have cron on the Pi wake up a script running on the Pi that would 1) automount the Droid file system and 2) automatically copy off any new pictures. I know how I'm going to do #2. I just need to figure out if I can get the file system mounted without human intervention.

Thanks.
