10.4: Automate mounting shares from Finder's Sidebar
I used to do it much easier.
Take TextEdit, type an URL in the format
protocol://[name:password@]adress/share.Select the line, klick and hold on selected text until the carrot changes to a pointer and drag the line to the Finder. It'll create a *.*loc file specific to your protocol. It even works with things like mailto:me@home.dom. This creates a mail-shortcut. When you open this file your preferred Mail App will start, create a new mail and enters the receipent.Have fun playing around using standard URL-formats. You can also make guest-authentification using afp://;AUTH=NO%20USER%20AUTHENT@adress/shareYou can rename these *.*loc files to anything you want, store them anywhere, make them a startup file, and you can drag them also into the Sidebar. One inconvenient thing: If you store your password in this file, it can be extracted because these *.*loc files are saved in cleartext XML format.

I tried your tip with SSH connections. It's perfect ;)
I've made a detailed howto in my blog.
