What does Console say when this happens? If hdiutil is throwing an error and giving up, it may be noted there instead of in Terminal. That would account for the files appearing and then disappearing. Also do 'man hdiutil' in a terminal window and confirm that all the parameters are correct...they look right, but you can't discount subtle changes in commands between OS X versions. -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
