David,

Did you see this bug report:
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=13017
this may explain the sporadic failure on MacOS?

Now I see that there is already a retry loop,
[...]
// since we get random dashboard failures with this one
  // try running it more than once
  int numTries = 4;
  bool res = false;
  while(numTries > 0)
[...]

but if anti-virus is the reason for hdiutil failure may be there is
a way to tell the anti-virus to stay away from mounted image?
