Also I'd suggest: (1) a /RW option to mount VHDs in read/write mode (ignore for .ISOs), and (2) allow more than one mount point to be specified (again, useful only for VHD files.)

Oh. I had assumed that you were using OpenVirtualDisk() and AttachVirtualDisk(). Is there some other way?
I've done it manually using DiskPart.exe.
First, SELECT the VDISK:
SELECT file="C:\Program Files\Windows XP Mode\Windows XP Mode base.vhd"
Then ATTACH it :
ATTACH VDISK
You can also create VDISK's based on another VDISK using the CREATE command.
When done, you DETACH VDISK.

Neat; you could wrap that in a batch file. I've been using the Disk Management console, as I don't need to mount VHDs very often.
Here's the .CMD files that I have been using in TCC to Mount/Unmount VHDs;
