Ok, for this, we want to set the "ShowServers" key in
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist to No or 0.

PlistBuddy -c Set :systemitems:ShowServers
0 /Users/$3/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist

Someone may want to double-check my PlistBuddy syntax as I haven't dug up my
script, but I recalled the name of the plist, took a Quicklook at it, and
put this command together.
