Re: Specify identically named ejectable disk

It turns out that in 10.3 Apple has cleverly added the suffix "_HomeDir" to
every mounted userfolder, although in truth that may only be for identically
named userfolders. I'd like a report on it if anyone feels the urge.

That means I can easily run Satimage's "backup" command by inserting that
string in the folder path.

Thanks, Apple!
