Could you make it try with env first, and if it fails, retry with / 
usr/bin/hdiutil?  But that might be too much work for no gain - I  
also can't see why it would be moved out of /usr/bin either.  It's  
not needed in single user mode so it won't end up in /bin, and I  
doubt very much it would ever be considered an sbin
