I feel like sucha dork.... The whole time I was trying to do this with hdiutil, I was redirecting the mountroot to my home folder.... Well I had my home folder open and thus as soon as it mounted it appeared on the desktop. I redirected to the Application Support folder and while the disk image mounted and was accessible, it was not on the desktop until I opened that particular folder and tahdah it appeared on the desktop. I did not see this tid bit of info anywhere I looked in the docs or man pages so I did not realize I was defeating my own efforts simply by having a window open. I even googled: "How to mount a disk with hdiutil without it showing on the desktop"...

However Kyle I agree 100% and will file a report.

Sounds like a good idea.
I spent about an hour and a half this morning trying to figure out a
way to use hdiutil to accomplish this but none of the options I tried
mounted an accessible volume without placing it on the desktop so one
way or another if this is possible, I have missed it.

Well, I took my own advice and filed a bug (r. 5696331). I still say file one yourself against hdiutil with the specific feature you're lacking. Hopefully we'll see some public access to this framework soon, including the functionality you desire.
