Comment:

 This looks like a Qt 4.4 problem. A bug has been submitted to Trolltech.

 The bug is not present in Qt 4.3 (which was current when QGIS 0.10.0 was
 released). A workaround is to build the current QGIS using Qt 4.3.

 Another workaround is to use a symlink instead of an alias for the volume.
 Qt 4.4 will correctly handle an unmounted symlink but you can't double-
 click it to mount it; it's necessary to use the Finder's Connect to Server
 command or some other method.
