Thanks.
One thing I found out after 6 more hours... I was not forming my URL correctly 
when I typed part of it out by hand. <shoots self in head with finger>
@"file://localhost/Volumes/..." instead of "@"file://Volumes/..."
Somehow I didn't think that "localhost" was in the path for URLs on network 
volumes, I usually Applescript and use Posix paths that start with 
"/Volumes/..."

Yep.

Er, if you don't want an icon preview, don't pass the IconMode key in the 
options dictionary.
