Sorry I didn't make this clear initially.
This part sometimes errors with "mount returned 0, exiting" which  
means the volume was mounted successfully.  I added the 'not'  
operator, but IMO, there should be a more elegant way to do this  
entire section.

else
		# Volume is not mounted, mount it and continue
		mount -t nfs moe:/backup /Users/charles/mnt > /dev/null 2>&1
		if [ "$?" -eq 0 ] ; then
			# Mounted OK
			echo `date` > $file
			echo >> $file
			echo "Mounted volume successfully, continuing." >> $file
			echo >> $file
		else	
			# Mount failed
			if [ "$?" ! -eq 0 ] ; then
				echo `date` > $file
				echo >> $file
				echo "Mount returned" "$?" ", exiting." >> $file
				mail -s "Weekly Backup results" charles < $file
