This syntax does not seem to work very well.

I've used '/Users/whatgoesformyname/Documents/TestDiskImage.dmg'- 
readonly and I get error messages about "no such file".

The naming of the path IS correct.

So what's going wrong?

P.S. The manual is, as usual, not that helpful. So what book is  
recommended to read in order to do this rather simple task? Or who is  
the high-priest that needs to be tithed?
