So I have a little script that maps a user share from a windows server using the $3 for the current user. Had a few users upgrade to Mavericks and the script fails for them. I can run the same script in AppleScript Editor just fine without the $3. Anyone else have issues using that parameter in Mavericks?
Here is my script:
tell application "Finder"
mount volume "cifs://usershareserver/home$/$3"
end tell
$3 only works at login.
Is that when your running it?
I use an AppleScript app @ login to map drives & users use it when logged in to map drives (say over a VPN).
Details of how are here in my blog, perhaps you could use the same mechanism to get the username instead of $3?

Awesome post. Mapping other shares based on AD group membership was also on my to-do list. This looks to be exactly what I need. Thank you!
Cool. Glad it helps!
