Hi Mike-

I can point you to the source code of ecryptfs-setup-private, where I
have a check (in shell code) to see if it's already mounted. It looks
something like this:
...
# Check for active mounts
MOUNTPOINT="$HOME/$PRIVATE_DIR"
CRYPTDIR="$HOME/.$PRIVATE_DIR"
grep -qs "$MOUNTPOINT " /proc/mounts && error "[$MOUNTPOINT] is already mounted"
grep -qs "$CRYPTDIR " /proc/mounts && error "[$CRYPTDIR] is already mounted"
...

Basically, dig through /proc/mounts looking for the private directory.
