Smile Shell script not executing before backup RESOLVED

Hi all,

I'm a newbie at scripting, so please bear with me.

In trying to achieve unattended backups that mount the backup disk (which is a partition on another internal hard drive, the other partition on that drive is always mounted already) before SuperDuper runs, then unmounts the backup disk when the backup is complete, I found some examples of shell scripts to do that. My test run didn't work correctly, here is the log result for the error:

Code:

My shell script (superduper_mountdisk.sh) for mounting the backup disk contains this code:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

# mounts backup partition before running SuperDuper unattended backup

BDISK=`/usr/sbin/diskutil list | awk '$3=="HomeDriveBAK" {print $6}'`
/usr/sbin/diskutil mount $BDISK > /dev/null
I have a similar script to unmount the disk... Can you tell me how to make this work?

Thanks!
