Until Apple fixes this issue in their next system update, here are a
couple of workarounds which auto-mount the Time Capsule Disk at login.
The 1st workaround is better and the 2nd workaround is quicker and
easier to do :

1st auto-mount workaround:
Go to Automator > custom action > Files & Folders > Get Specified
Servers > Connect to Servers
Save as application "Automount Time Capsule" > add to login items in
System preferences > Accounts

2nd auto-mount workaround:
Go to System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items - click the '+' and
browse for 'Time Capsule Disk' then add it to Login Items. The
downside is that this also opens a finder window on the desktop as
well as auto-mounting the Time Capsule Disk, at login.

Good ideas!

You could also use MarcoPolo to sense when you have connected to your
home network and then use the Mount action to mount the Time Capsule
disk. This is especially handy for those of us on MacBooks.
