[FX.php List] [OT] Problem trying to use mount_afp w/ FileMaker Server

[Bob Patin]

I'm using shell scripts, which work great, and backup databases  
automatically; why would I want to use Samba when FMS does timed  
automatic backups already?

The script does the ZIP backup to a 2nd internal drive; where it's  
failing is in mounting the external volume.
