[Casper] Issues with Time machine script.

[Leacy, Miles]

Two tips:

1. Make sure that in your configuration, this script is set to run ³At
reboot² rather than ³before² or ³after².  If you run the script ³after²,
you¹re running it on the utility drive you're booted to during the imaging
process.  ³At reboot² will add your script to the Casper first run script
which will be executed the first time you boot the newly imaged system.
2. You can simplify your script to:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine
DoNotOfferNewDisksForBackup -bool YES

This will put the setting in the /Library folder, which is applied to all
users.

Hope this helps.
