Hello Luther,
Apparently because stdin isn't a tty in the context created by "do shell script":
do shell script "test -t 0; echo $?"
--> 1
On the other hand, without the -stdinpass, hdiutil should raise a password dialog with the option to save the password in the user's keychain; in all cases, this would be safer than having a cleartext password stored in a script...
HTH,
Axel
