There was a great hint posted at Mac OS X Hints regarding an apple script that would mount a disk image, launch an application, and when the application was done, it would dismount the image [also optionally change the screen resolution with cscreen].

Here is the link to the hint:

I took the original hint and modified it so it would meet my needs. I didn't have any problems what-so-ever with the script until now.

Has do shell script broke for certain actions? It seems recently, or least after one of the number of updates that Apple has released in the last month or two,

There are increasing security constraints in the more recent updates.

I suggest you use the "administrator privileges" and "password" parameters to 'do shell script' in order to eliminate that area as being an obstacle.

Other than that, I don't know the solution offhand.
