This error occurred with MacOS 9.0 and again with 9.1, but not 9.0.4. I've
encountered this myself and have a call into my Apple Education rep to look
into a resolution (haven't heard back). It might indeed have something to
do with KeyChain, which I personally have had many problems with and now
avoid it at all costs. Interestingly enough, after I've mounted one volume
on the server, I can mount others on the same server through the script...
just can't make the initial connection, which makes me suspect the KeyChain
thing even more.
