In each case, what was logged?

Here with Mountain Lion, I find:

  • no issue when changing, or attempting to change, the value of the mountpoint property
  • for each successful change, no need for superuser.

I wondered about unexpected force, but there's no evidence of that. With an .app open from the file system to be changed, there's a busy response and no automated unmount.

Patrick (pmhausen), I wonder whether in your case the issue arose from use of sudo.
