[Casper] Sidebar mounted disks

[Ryan Harter]

I've actually reported this to JAMF and they told me that it is an  
issue with the Finder not refreshing the Sidebar cache.  I've just  
been living with it, but I wonder if there is a command line way to  
have the sidebar reload the cache.  Also, I'm not sure exactly how  
they are mounting the disks, I would assume with the mount command  
launched from the jamf binary because why wouldn't they just use the  
tools already there.  Anyway, the mount command has a "-nobrowse"  
option which hides the mounted item from the finder completely.  I  
think this would be a good option because I don't even want users to  
see the mounted disk anywhere.
