I'm working on a project that sends an apple event to the Finder to mount a volume (specifically, an iDisk). The problem is, the command seems to be ignored UNLESS the iDisk has been previously mounted via a real AppleScript:

tell application "Finder"
mount volume "http://idisk.mac.com/zblack-Public";
end tell

Somehow this script "tickles" the Finder into accepting the Apple Event from my C++ project. Logging out will undo this effect, and then the event is ignored again. Has anyone come across this problem before?

If anyone would like to take a look at the code, I've uploaded a simple carbon project to my iDisk (Use command-k in OS X):

http://idisk.mac.com/zblack-Public

I'm desperate to find a solution to this... Please Help!
