As another quick warning, in addition to the -1 -2 -3 or whatever being added if you mount an SMB volume the path is actually:
 /Volumes/<IP ADDRESS OF SERVER>/

So if you have 2 volumes on 10.10.1.15 the first one mounted will be /Volumes/10.10.1.15 and the second mounted will be /Volumes/10.10.1.15-1

However if you mount an AFP volume the volume name will be the mount point so the path would be:
/Volumes/<Volume_Name>

If you want to be full proof you can dip into Carbon and use PBGetVolMountInfo.  If you have the IP Address and volume name (hopefully in your SQL database) you can use the information from this to determine if you are connect to the correct server and volume.

Have fun!
