Mac OS X Mavericks: How do I remove the quarantine flag from my Sparsebundle mount?

Question

I just upgraded to Mac OS X Mavericks. I have a sparsebundle image which is mounted with the "quarantine" attribute, which prevents me from running any shell scripts on the volume. Here is what I get when I run "mount" in terminal:

/dev/disk1s2 on /Volumes/Source (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, journaled, noowners, quarantine, mounted by crith)

I've tried running the following command on the sparsebundle image:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Source.sparsebundle

But, the volume is still mounting with the "quarantine" flag set! Any advice?

It looks like the token inside the sparsebundle is what causes the image to be mounted with the quarantine flag. To fix, run this:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Source.sparsebundle/token
