This works swimmingly at the command line, either in a login window session, or an ssh session. However, it hangs (or blocks on some nebulous, never-to-be-entered input) when it's run ultimately from a LaunchDaemon run from /Library/ LaunchDaemons running as me. Is there something (well known) I need to do specifically to fix this? And or some better way to diagnose what's going on here? You appear to be laboring under the assumption that changing your UID is sufficient to run as your user. This is not true on our platform. When running from a daemon, hdiutil is in a different bootstrap than running at a loginwindow or GUI session and thus has different capabilities. You should be running as an agent to be truly running in your user's context. -- Damien Sorresso BSD Engineering Apple Inc. smime.p7s
