Can anyone point me in the right direction? I would also like to be able to report the result of Disk Utility's findings and either display them in a dialog box or perhaps email them to myself
As far as I know, Disk Utility is not scriptable. To do the things you want, you need to read the instructions for the shell commands 'hdiutil' and 'drutil'. I use these to burn optical disks, create dmg and sparsebundle files and other tasks done manually with Disk Utility.
