Nothing I try works.

That doesn't work either.

Sorry, the Shell doesn't even know the alias is there
% ls -l /Volumes
doesn't even show the alias.

It seems the only way to get rid of the offending alias is to scriptwise
open the invisible folder and close it. How to do?

Here's the script, but you need an identically named disk to run it:

Sounds more like a nightmare to me.
