Add Network-Drives to Finder-Favorites

Question

Hi,
i upgraded to Mountain Lion OS X. In previous versions i had no problems, with attaching my network-drives to the Finder-Farvorites. I started the OSX with automatically mounting network-drives, everything worked fine. But now, i am not able to add them permanently to the Finder.
I wrote a script:
delay 5
tell application "Finder" to open home
tell application "Finder"
          try
                    mount volume "afp://user:password@server/folder"
          end try
end tell
tell application "Finder" to close home
It works fine on some iMacs and adds the "folder" to Finder-Favorites, but not on all of them. In my opinion that's a huge bug that needs a fast fix. I read many blogs and discussions in other forums with the same problem.
I hope someone has some advices for me!
Thx a lot.

Unfortunately things added to the Sidebar in the Finder window that are not on the startup drive have a distressing tendency to just vanish, even when the volume mounts automatically at startup. You can create an alias and put it somewhere else, such as the Desktop, and it will stay (as you have evidently discovered). You should also be able to add that alias (or even the original item) to the Finder Toolbar, and have it stay there (anyway, I've added a folder from another volume to my Toolbar, and it is always there and always works). But the Sidebar.....not so much.
