Maybe, but Sharity has already too many options... We'll consider this.

I'm afraid this has nothing to do with the mount point. Apple encodes the
path AND the mount point into an alias and tries to restore mounts based on
this information. For (to us) unknown reasons, this fails for Sharity. If
anybody has more information about this topic, we would be pleased to
receive input.

In this case the HFS+ volume may contain objects which can not be
represented on Windows, such as symbolic links. Since Apple's Finder is
still not able to report useful error messages:
-43 means "File not found"
-34 is "Disk full"
-35 is "No such volume"
-120 is "Directory not found"

(The translation can be found in the file
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/Carb
onCore.framework/Versions/A/Headers/MacErrors.h)

Have you looked at the object which failed? It may have been something Unix
specific or it may have contained characters in the file name which can't be
represented on Windows.

Regards, Christian.
