i do not know if its because its friday or what but i am going nuts trying to figure this out

i am sure this is a simple one

i want to do this

tell app “finder”
if exist volume “myVolumeName” then
– do something
else
mount volume “smb://username:password@myVolumename/share”
–do something
end
end

what am i forgetting or doing wrong?

if exists disk “myVolumeName” then …
