What is the most reliable method to determine if rdiff-backup is already 
running on the destination directory?

If there are two current mirror markers in the rdiff-backup-data directory, and the latest one is in memory then its still running. You can get the pid of the running rdiff-backup process by simply looking in the current mirror marker file... its in there :)

You can check out the logic in the check_rdiff script for confirmation (its a nagios plugin)

I actually have a new version of that, and a reimplementation in ruby as well if anyone is interested.
