Hello Jim,
IIRC, Standard Additions' "mount volume" command was extremely problematic under 10.4.x, and I had to resort to the "open location" command instead:
open location "afp://Living-Hope-Churchs-MacBook.local./jim"
But there's a slight problem: "open location" executes asynchronously.
You'll thus have to poll until the volume mounts; for example:
tell application "Finder"
set Secs to 0
repeat until exists disk "jim"
delay 1
set Secs to Secs + 1
if Secs ≥ 120 then
display dialog "Failed."
error number -128
end if
end repeat
end tell
Of course, this relies upon the fact that there is not volume named "jim" beforehand...
HTH,
Axel
