Parallels Mounter command line usage

I would like to use Parallels Mounter as described here
http://kb.parallels.com/6146
from a script doing a nightly backup.

When the VM using the disk to be mounted is suspended, then a dialog window pops up and asks if I would like to open readonly or also to update. When I am using Parallels Mount from a script I cannot answer that dialog, because I want to fully automate the processing. What can I do, that this dialog does not appear?

Thanks, Peter
 
1. I have a VM with Windows XP which I put into standby mode by klicking the red button in the left window corner.
2. Then I simply opened a Terminal (bash running) and entered the command listed in this Knowledge Base article:
http://kb.parallels.com/6146
3. Then this dialog window appears and asks me how to proceed.

Something similar happens when the VM is running (and not sleeping), then a dialog box aks me, if I want to mount the disk readonly. Seems to be that this only works without a dialog when the VM is sopped.

When I am using a tool like Paralles Mointer within a script it males no sense to open a dialog window, because there is normally nobody there who could interact. Therefore, I am looking for a solution not displayging any dialog windows, e.g. by using comand line parameters or something else.
