system_profiler SPIDEDataType problem?

[AllanMarcus]

Hello,

I find that I need a nightly script to get the serial numbers from the drives mounted in my xserve. I thought the following would work:

system_profiler SPIDEDataType | grep Serial

but it only reports info about the drive in bay 1! I have a drive in bay as well. When I run the GUI system Profiler app I see both drives, but

system_profiler SPIDEDataType

only sees the drive in bay 1. Am I missing something or is this a bug?
