[Casper] need advice on self service mount points, andapplaunching

[Thomas Larkin]

What is the difference between yours and mine, which is: 

tell application "finder" 

mount volume "afp://user:password@x.x.x.x/sharepoint" 

end tell 

I mean isn't it essentially the same thing?

I seem to have luck using this in applescript:

mount volume “afp://servername/sharepoint” as user name “myusername”
with password “mypassword”

Also, just in case you miss it only because I have in the past, the
sharepoint name is case sensitive.

Ok, I am about to get a few more gray hairs over this.  According the
man pages and everything I google I am doing this right but it is not
working. 

   

       

  

If I mount the share via the finder it works just fine, no issues.  If I
mount it via apple script it works to an extend, if I mount it via
mount_afp no dice. 

   

       

  

here is my apple script 

   

       

  

tell application "finder" 

   

       

  

mount volume "afp://username:password@x.x.x.x:548 

<mailto:afp://username:password@x.x.x.x:548> " 

   

       

  

end tell 

   

       

  

This works but there are three share points on this server, and if I add
the share point it, it doesn't work, says server does not exist or spits
out a syntax error.  Now if I could get this to work 

   

       

  

tell application "finder" 

   

       

  

mount volume "afp://user:password@x.x.x.x:548/sharepoint 

<mailto:afp://user:password@x.x.x.x:548/sharepoint> " 

   

       

  

end tell 

   

       

  

I would be golden! 

   

       

  

Any advice?  Any Novell wizards around here?  Also, how well does casper
fair with Apple scripts I normally don't use them? 

   

       

  

Thanks,
