I've actually reported this to JAMF and they told me that it is an
issue with the Finder not refreshing the Sidebar cache. I've just
been living with it, but I wonder if there is a command line way to
have the sidebar reload the cache. Also, I'm not sure exactly how
they are mounting the disks, I would assume with the mount command
launched from the jamf binary because why wouldn't they just use the
tools already there. Anyway, the mount command has a "-nobrowse"
option which hides the mounted item from the finder completely. I
think this would be a good option because I don't even want users to
see the mounted disk anywhere.

Eh, you could try the good old killall finder as a post command after a
package is installed. Not sure how that would affect the end user,
could get interesting though for sure!

I've tried this before and it does seem to work, but that's some scary
stuff if a user is logged in. I can only imagine a user copying a
file for backup and you kill the finder mid stream.

I've seen this happen with software installs or updates from policies. The mounted disk image still shows in the left part of the finder window.

Haven't seen if this has carried over into 10.5.7 yet.

I've seen it for sure, and it is a small problem I have just been living
with since I have had other bigger problems to deal with.
