From (the top) of Chris Espinosa's message to the list about changes in AS
1.5.5:
MOUNT VOLUME USES KEYCHAIN
As of AppleScript 1.5 and later, the 'mount volume' scripting addition will
look in the Keychain to see if there is a password for the requested server.
Note that keychain passwords are stored according to the connection
protocol: a key for a server accessed via AppleTalk is different than a key
for accessing the same server through TCP/IP. So if you've created a key
for that server connected via TCP/IP, you must use the TCP/IP form of 'mount
volume' (using a URL of the form afp://host.domain.com/volume) in order to
have the keychain key work correctly. Similarly, if you created the key
while connected to the server via AppleTalk, you must use the AppleTalk form
of 'mount volume' to use that key.
I imagine that's why.
