I see what you mean.  Thanks.  I got some errors with that syntax but
it put me on an encouraging track.  I'm now experimenting with this
syntax:

mount_afp -i afp://username:password@localhost/diskname /Volumes/afplocal/

That currently gets 

    AFPMountURL returned error 1, errno is 1

but I should be able to solve it.

Once I get it to run without error, is there a simple way to confirm
that its mounted?  (I don't think it will show up in the Finder, will it?)

Thanks,

Steve
