Thanks, Dan, looks great! What problems can come up? In the docs I only found that DiskUtil doesn't work when that utility is active. I would typically start it before mounting a (Fat32) USB stick or HD that I only need to read from, and quit it right after. That seems better for the file system than the "Clean up non-Mac disks" util I am using so far, just before unmounting them.
