Thanks. This isn't quite what I"m looking for. It doesn't ask for the password the disk is encrypted with. It asks for my local account password twice before attaching the disk.

Oddly enough it only prompts me for a password when I omit the -agentpass option.

Your answer, using hdiutil, has nothing to do with the OP and question asked, which was about mounting an encrypted disk from the command line, not an encrypted disk image, which are two different things! foundling's answer, using diskutil, is the correct answer!

Good answer. hdiutil is the answer for another related question I had: how to unmount encrypted dmg and "lock" it for it start to ask password on new mount. Answer is hdiutil eject /Volumes/your_volume
