Hi Marv,


David McClosky wrote a library for detecting mount points:

    http://bebop.bigasterisk.com/python/docs/MtPython
    http://bebop.bigasterisk.com/python/MtPython-1.0.tar.gz

and there appear to be a 'mounted_only' option that you can check to see
if something is really mounted already.


Good luck!
