Mount volume flaky/broken in Tiger?

  Hello,
      Is anyone else having issues with the mount volume command in Tiger?
The following script works perfectly in Panther (actually, has worked well
since 9.0.4 . . .)

     set diskList to (list disks)
if diskList does not contain "Common" then
mount volume "afp://" & useName & ":" & usePass &
"@ourserver.domainname/Common"
end if
if diskList does not contain "Output" then
mount volume "afp://" & useName & ":" & usePass &
"@ourserver.domainname/Output"
end if

    And so forth for the many volumes my editors mount from our XServe.
In Tiger, the results are extremely flaky. Usually, the first referenced
volume will mount, but the next volumes in the list don't. When I wrap the
mount volume command in a try statement, I get the following returned as
the error message and number:
"Disk some object wasn't found" -35   Hence, the volumes aren't being found
for some bizarre reason. I've checked network connectivity, so that's not
the issue.
      Even more strange: Sometimes all of the volumes mount perfectly.
There seems no rhyme or reason or pattern to this. However, usually the
script fails to mount all of the volumes.
     Anyone have thoughts/workarounds on this?
       Thanks,
        Jim
