Thanks for the suggestion, Shane, but that doesn't seem to work. Double-clicking on the alias produces the same result as telling the Finder to open the alias.

I get the error message

   The volume for "FW 55G" cannot be found.
   Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it
   to appear on the desktop, then try again.

Volume "FW 55G" is already connected on the FireWire chain. Disk Utility can see it there. Disk Utility can mount it. But nothing else seems able to see it.

I've been trying Terminal with diskutil, but I cannot figure out how to specify an unmounted disk

Thanks for the suggestion.

 What I haven't figured out how to do in AppleScript is to mount the
 disk again for the next backup.

Next time you mount it, make an alias of it. When you want to open it again, tell the Finder to open the alias.
