In Sierra, it is no longer possible to script a volume mount.

This makes it impossible to do things like scripted backups/rsyncs.

Steps to Reproduce:
open -g afp://whatever

Pre-Sierra, works and mounts the volume using the stored Keychain password.

Sierra, pops up the alert asking to OK the mount.

sudo open -g afp://whatever

does not work either.  It might be possible to do sudo mkdir /Volumes/Whatever, mount_afp whatever, but it seems difficult to ensure it behaves in the same manner as mounting the volume.

Expected Results:
I expect nothing else, but I'd like it if Apple quit screwing up automation.
