From a script I use for pretty much the same purpose with Retrospect
(disk is named "Backup"):

   tell application "Finder" to if not (disk "Backup" exists) then do
shell script "diskutil mount " & last word of (do shell script
"diskutil list | grep 'Apple_HFS Backup'")

Note that this all goes on one line.
