That is a useful piece of information. Thank you.

Great idea. But I can't seem to mount my local volume, located at
/Volumes/SJS (on localhost).
I googled and searched the list archives to little avail. Here's the
short list of what I've tried. I first do:
$ mkdir /Volumes/salesdb
Then, the following result in "error -5019, errno is 2"
$ mount_afp afp://steinitz:password@localhost/Volumes/SJS /Volumes/salesdb
$ mount_afp afp://steinitz:password@localhost/Volumes/SJS/ /Volumes/salesdb
While the following doesn't return an error and even appears to mount a volume,
it just gets the spinning beach ball when I click on it
$ mount_afp afp://steinitz:password@localhost/SJS /Volumes/salesdb
Of course trying to afp-mount the volume in the Finder using Connect
to Server... gets "This file server is running on your machine. Please
access the volumes and files locally.". Similarly for the mount
volume command in AppleScript.
Thanks for any advice,
Steve
