I downloaded a DMG of some commercial Mac software (CSSEdit) but I found that the DMG wouldn't mount. I tried another image from the same company, and then a number of images I had laying around from other software. About half of them mount and half don't. The error is always "no mountable file systems"
My google-foo reveals only some isolated incidents, and the repeated suggestion to reboot (I have, twice). The disk will not mount from Disk Utility either (nor does attempting to verify or repair it from there have any effect). I've also tried re-downloading this image several times using several different programs.
I recently updated to 10.5.8 in case that's relevant.
Here's a paste of what I get when I try to mount the DMG from the command line.
