Mount command ignoring wildcards?

[sailmac]

Can someone help me understand why

mount -dvuwo noatime /Volumes/*

is not respecting the * wildcard? Executing it in Terminal results in the command's "usage" info being shown.

usage: mount [-dfruvw] [-o options] [-t external_type] special node
       mount [-adfruvw] [-t external_type]
       mount [-dfruvw] special | node

If I escape it as

mount -dvuwo noatime /Volumes/\*

It responds as expected with

unknown special file or file system *

I also tried using the ? wildcard and it is not recognized either.

This on a Mac Pro running 10.8.5, if it matters.

Thanks
