AFAIK, if you can get it to work manually, then if you add the appropriate line to your fstab, then it should "just work".
Are you seeing a bootup error message of any sort? What does your fstab line look like? According to the VMware docs and seconded via a post on an openvm-tools issue; your fstab line should look like this:
(Where /mnt/hgfs is your local mount point, and it already exists).
The docs also note an alternate fstab layout, so perhaps try that if the above doesn't work? It may also be worth reading further through the issue thread too?
