Specify identically named ejectable disk

Preamble:

10.2 had a problem but it is fixed in 10.3, so I'm using 2 identically named
userfolders (volumes).
Applescript can't distinguish between the two, but Volumes identifies the
removable one as having a "-1" suffix.

tell application "Finder" to every disk

{
disk "Rachel" of application "Finder",
startup disk of application "Finder",
disk "Caches" of application "Finder",
disk "OS 10.3 Backup" of application "Finder",
disk "XBase" of application "Finder",
disk "Rachel" of application "Finder",
disk "Network" of application "Finder",
disk "Servers" of application "Finder"
}

The "Rachel" disk is duplicated here, but if I say

tell application "Finder" to every disk whose not local volume is true

{
disk "Rachel" of application "Finder",
disk "Network" of application "Finder",
disk "Servers" of application "Finder"
}

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?

Thanks for any insight.
