Apple

Thanks RJ and Jörgen.

Here's what I've got, but there is an issue. If the server or volume can't mount a system error dialog appears, that isn't trapable and doesn't clear after a couple minutes or with an apple event time out. (This is a bug, no?) It happens in Yosemite, don't know about other versions.

The script this will live is designed to run unattended and if the volume isn't available it mounts a different volume. If that's not available is logs the error and continues.
