Hi everyone,

I have a rather odd problem using rev applications on Mac OSX Leopard, 
connecting to a server on my network. I connect to a server with an Applescript 
command: do theScript as Applescript. I can do this just fine. But if I unmount 
the server  by dragging it's icon to the trash, then remount from within Rev 
eventually Rev reads the name of the server differently. Let's say the name of 
the server is "George". I can connect to "George" several times, but eventually 
Rev or Leopard appends a digit to the name of the mounted volume. 

Originally, the path to file "Textfile.txt" on the server named "George" will 
be "/Volumes/George/Textfile.txt" However, after a few connections (don't know 
how many or exactly when this happens), the path to the file becomes 
"/Volumes/George-1/Textfile.txt". Oddly enough, the icon on the desktop for the 
volume is still "George". However, any reference to the file "Textfile.txt" 
from within Rev now will fail, since Rev reads the connection as 
"/Volumes/George-1/Textfile.txt" but is still looking for 
"/Volumes/George/Textfile.txt"!  This gets somewhat frustrating, since I never 
know when it will happen, and once it does, I can no longer transfer files back 
and forth between the server and the computer.

Has anyone seen this behavior? Do you have a workaround or a suggestion to get 
around this problem? I never had the problem working with pre-Leopard operating 
systems on the Mac, but it is now cropping up since all our computers in a lab 
are now running Leopard. 

Another issue may be that the physical server (now running OSX Snow Leopard) 
has several share points, each of which may be mounted as individual volumes, 
one of which is the aforementioned "George". Mounting and unmounting several of 
these share points may bring about the re-numbering issue. Rebooting the 
individual computer doesn't seem to help either.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Dan
