This particular case is somehow slowly getting upsetting.
- You can have a disk image mount fine on Mac OS X 10.3. But it
won't mount fine (warning displayed or the very user centric error
message about the lack of a mountable something) on 10.4. You have
to fix it in 10.4 in most cases.

10.5. You have to fix it in 10.5 in most cases.
- My favorite: You can have a disk image mount fine on 10.4. It can
mount fine on 10.5 if you download it using Safari and Safari is
configured to automatically mount the disk image. But if you later
double-click the disk image to mount it on 10.5, then it won't mount
fine.
I'm finding this extremely frustrating at the moment.
I'm hitting certain 10.4 FileVault sparseimages where if you use
"hdiutil attach" to mount them in 10.5, they will simply fail.
If you however do "open /path/to.dmg" you get the alert about "Mounted
with reduced functionality" and the image mounts correctly.
My users are rather incredulous that they have home directories that
Tiger deems ok, but Leopard doesn't.
