mount_afp error -1069

i use the following script to mount various AFP shares between my 2 machines:

+mkdir /Volumes/JINGOmovies+
+mkdir /Volumes/JINGOdocs+
+mkdir /Volumes/JINGOitunes+
+mkdir /Volumes/JINGOdisk1+
+mkdir /Volumes/JINGOdisk1/iTunes\ Music+

+sudo mount_afp afp://imac.local/JINGOmovies /Volumes/JINGOmovies+
+sudo mount_afp afp://imac.local/Documents /Volumes/JINGOdocs+
+sudo mount_afp afp://imac.local/iTunes /Volumes/JINGOitunes+
+sudo mount_afp afp://imac.local/iTunes\ Music /Volumes/JINGOdisk1/iTunes\ Music+

this used to work - until today! i now get the following output for each of the mount_afp calls:

+mount_afp: the mount flags are 0000 the altflags are 0020+
+mount_afp: AFPMountURL returned error -1069, errno is -1069+

having searched extensively, i cannot even find 1 posting on the internet that mentions -1069. there is no reference of error codes for afp either. can anyone please assist me? just knowing what the code means would be something, if the solution isnt known...

regards

I'm guessing this might be the error:

#define ASPERR_NoServers -1069

ASP is Appletalk Session Protocol.

From: <http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/mac/Networking/Networking-223.html>
AFP is built on top of the AppleTalk Session Protocol (ASP) and uses the services of ASP. To use AFP, you should also be familiar with ASP, which is described in the chapter "AppleTalk Session Protocol (ASP)" in this book. For an overview of AFP and how it fits within the AppleTalk protocol stack, read the chapter "Introduction to AppleTalk," which is also in this book.

Now AFP may have moved over to using TCP/IP protocols instead of Appletalk protocols, however, it is very possible that some of the original Appletalk error codes have moved over with the AFP code.

Now what NoServers means is left as an exercise (translation: I do not have a clue).

sorted!

from the reply, stating the error message was NoServersFound or something like that, i rebooted the imac. it seems the afp server was malfunctioning, as it worked straight after.
