Check the 'local volume' flag property of the disk to see if it's local or
not, e.g.:
tell application "Finder"
set mountedDisks to name of every disk whose local volume is false
if mountedDisks does not contain "Macintosh HD" then
-- disk is not mounted
end if
end tell

No probs, I'll check /Volumes/ - but that has a symbolic link to root
