JWBaumann asked me off-list for the URL for AppleShare Client setup, which is apparently hard to find, so I'm posting it here. It is:

<http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/Misc/AppleShare_Client_Setup.smi.bin>

I can't take the credit for finding it. I was given this URL by Robert C. Jacobson <email@hidden>, who solved the problem for me, and whose full response on this subject, which I found when I looked for the URL in my mail archive, I now quote:

Normally, the Appleshare client attempts to verify the existence of the
Appleshare server with pings. If you have a firewall at the office that
blocks pings, then that is the problem. If it doesn't get a ping
response, it assumes the server does not exist.

You can test this by using the WhatRoute tool to try and ping the office
machine. This tool is not installed by default, but you can install it
from the CD, or download it from
<http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~bryanc/whatroute-17-ppc.hqx>

If you can't "ping" the office machine from home, then you need to
install the Appleshare Client Setup tool on your home computer.

Once you have the tool installed:

1) Select "Network" from the Pulldown menu 2) Deselect "Verify TCP
Address with Ping"

Best,

I was stymied mounting a remote volume via Applescript for some time,
until someone on this list or the MacScript list sent me down the
right road...

Get a copy of AppleShare Client Setup which is available from Apple.
Run it on your problem machine, and you will find a setting "Verify
IP addresses by ping" or something like that. Turn it off.

If there is a firewall between your client and the server, a ping may
be blocked and so the script will fail. Turning off ping verification
will allow the script to work and your volume will mount.
