I feel like sucha dork.... The whole time I was trying to do this with 
hdiutil, I was redirecting the mountroot to my home folder.... Well I 
had my home folder open and thus as soon as it mounted it appeared on 
the desktop. I redirected to the Application Support folder and while 
the disk image mounted and was accessible, it was not on the desktop 
until I opened that particular folder and tahdah it appeared on the 
desktop. I did not see this tid bit of info anywhere I looked in the 
docs or man pages so I did not realize I was defeating my own efforts 
simply by having a window open. I even googled: "How to mount a disk 
with hdiutil without it showing on the desktop"...

However Kyle I agree 100% and will file a report.
