This might be a stupid question but

set theCmd to "mkdir /Volumes/Data" & i

Where is this created? I did a search could not find it. First time I run the script I got an error message on the mount. Second time I got an error message file already exist.

Ruby

There is always the manual method via do shell script. This seems to work for me, but I was only experimenting with a single volume. Might be worth a try? As a bonus, you could actually control all the different names of the mount points too. That is, if you're mounting 5 different volumes named "Data" you could actually name them things like DataAlice, DataBob, DataCharlie if you wanted.

repeat with i from 1 to 5

set theCmd to "mkdir /Volumes/Data" & i

log theCmd

set cmdResult to do shell script theCmd

if cmdResult ≠ "" then

display dialog "There appears to have been an error. mkdir says:" & return & return & cmdResult buttons "Cancel" default button 1

end if

set theCmd to "mount_afp afp://user:email@hidden/Data /Volumes/Data" & i

log theCmd

set cmdResult to do shell script theCmd

--Not sure how to error check this one. It always returns some gibberish...

end repeat

Later,

Eric.

I recently changed from 10.3.9 to 10.4.11 on one of the MAC. I had script on

10.3.9 that would mount 5 volumes without any problem. On 10.4.11 when I run

this script it mounts sometimes 2 or 3 volumes never all 5. I tried adding

"delay" in between but this does not work.

You are out of luck (seriously), mount volume is completely broken in

Tiger and has never been fixed. It works better (again) in Leopard.

The Apple Bugreporter ID for the report I submitted is 4219620, and it

was closed as a duplicate of 4206723.

For my original report, I got the following status info: "4219620 -

closed as dup; dup fixed in Leopard".

So you either upgrade to Leopard or revert to Panther, where the command

worked flawlessly for me.

HTH,
