Doug,
From the "Never Miss The Obvious" department: Do you have file sharing over
TCP/IP enabled?
My experience with mounting volumes using Applescript has been unsatisfactory
at best. I can never make it work reliably unless I connect as the owner.
Maybe this has improved with MacOS 9.1 (I've had troubles with 8.6 and 9.04).
