It looks like you need the developer tooks (Xcode and company) installed, and you have to "tell it where it is," according to http://www.mackb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/macintosh/2...

To Brian:

SetFile -a V "/Volumes/Bootcamp\ HD"
-bash: SetFile: command not found

What's wrong?

If you want to hide just one:
SetFile -a V "/Volumes/DiskName"

Use a small V to bring it back:
SetFile -a v "/Volumes/DiskName"

You need to restart Finder (or reboot) for the change to be visible. I do this for my TimeMachine/TimeCapsule volumes.
