It turns out that in 10.3 Apple has cleverly added the suffix "_HomeDir" to
every mounted userfolder, although in truth that may only be for identically
named userfolders. I'd like a report on it if anyone feels the urge.
That means I can easily run Satimage's "backup" command by inserting that
string in the folder path.
Thanks, Apple!

And now for the question.

How does Finder associate the ejectable disk with the Volumes diskname? Can

I do a "choose folder" telling the dialog to start at an ejectable disk?
