You're relying too heavily on the shell, and you're not passing the necessary -stdinpass option to hdiutil. Try (written in Mail, no guarantees):
NSArray *args = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"hdiutil", @"mount", @"-stdinpass", pathToDMG, nil];
NSTask *task = [[NSTask alloc] init];
NSPipe *pipe = [NSPipe pipe];
[task setLaunchPath:@"/usr/bin/hdiutil"];
[task setArguments:args];
[task setStandardInput:pipe];
[task setStandardOutput:[NSFileHandle fileHandleWithNullDevice]];
[task setStandardError:[NSFileHandle fileHandleWithStandardError]];
[task launch];
[[pipe fileHandleForWriting] writeData:[@"password"; dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[[pipe fileHandleForWriting] closeFile];
[task waitUntilExit];
int result = [task terminationStatus];
[task release];
