I think all the action is happening in the "Volumes" folder, which is
invisible. I have put an alias to "Volumes" to make it more accessible.
"Volumes" seems to acquire extraneous contents, especially after running
Carbon Copy Cloner. This causes strange behavior when booting or accessing
files.
If a volume already exists (whether really or virtually) it ends up with a
number appended in Volumes. For example, my 2 machines have user "Rachel",
so when I mount the same partition it shows in Finder as "Rachel" but in
Volumes it's called "Rachel-1". The solution is to mount the disk as
"Rachel_HomeDir", otherwise it's not accessible in Finder.
Mounting the disk by Firewire is more difficult because it gets called
"Rachel" in Finder but "Rachel-1" in Volumes, so running Applescripts to
access the other "Rachel" requires going through "Volumes:Rachel-1".
All this because in 10.2 had some serious limitations mounting a disk with
an identical name.
