Just curious - how do stop people from accessing their mailboxes
during the time they are being renamed and moved to another partition?

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.
