"it ran once at GUI login"; that's exactly what launchd does. A login  
item runs "every time" the specified user logs in. So if user log out  
(not booting the system just logging out useing "Log Out User…" under  
Apple menu) and then logs back launchd does launch its job again (in  
this case doesn't mount the afp) whereas a "login item" under user's  
account settings (system preferences) relaunches whatever it launches  
normally.
