Aha!
I found out what's going on!
For some reason, the Volume Check script runs, but doens't block the
ability to continue! Since the find call was taking so long, it was
returning later.
I tested it by putting in a sleep 10 in the script to see if it would
tile itself out. It's not really timing out, it's just that it gets to
the install section *before* the script has returned *at all*
This is undesirable behaviour. The Volume Check script should complete
before allowing the user to continue.
Does anyone know of a way I can force this to happen?
