I just do a grep on the username in the proc directory - if there is no 
process for that user, I figure it's safe enough to move the mailbox. This 
approach has worked well so far. I experimented with accessing a mailbox 
while it was being moved and that seemed to be OK as well, i.e. it failed 
while the operation was in progress.
