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.

/Volumes is a normally hidden folder (by Finder) at the root of
your hard drive which contains aliases to mounted file systems
(hard drives). You can access it via the Finder's "Go" menu, "Go
to Folder" command (shift-cmd-G) and typing in "/Volumes"
without the quotes or by running a script -
In Script Editor:
open location "file:///Volumes" -- opens it
or
choose folder -- it is visible to this command
In Terminal you can access it as you would any other folder:
# make it the current working directory and list its contents
cd /Volumes;ls
I wouldn't recommend using mkdir to add a folder structure in
/Volumes as it's used by the OS as the default mount point for
file systems. They are added and removed under control of the OS
via the mount and unmount commands and while it wouldn't
normally cause problems it may leave artifacts the system
doesn't remove. Let the OS handle the creation and removal.
