Mounting SMB Servers

I have two approaches that work for mounting SMB servers. One is using NSTask to execute mount_smbfs and the other is using NSAppleScript to execute a mounting script generated on the fly. Both of these have their drawbacks:

mount_smbfs via NSTask:
Does not play nice with Finder's sidebar. Leaves artifacts long after unmounting.
Requires a more complex processor method in order to ensure arguments are properly escaped.

NSAppleScript:
Provides no option that I can see for timing out. If it can't resolve the server, then the main thread of my program hangs.


Is there a better way to go about this? The server is arbitrary. There is nothing guaranteed about it. Is using NSTask to pipe the generated script into osascript and a NSTimer instance the only way to get timing out functionality?
