Well actually, Disk Arbitration can't operate on the disk image until you at least attach it with "hdiutil attach", which is when the /dev/disk* entries are created.
The OP has solved his problem, but for reference I have a project that uses Disk Arbitration and hdiutil to manage disk mounting which can be found here:
http://github.com/aburgh/Disk-Arbitrator
It has examples of using Disk Arbitration and of interacting with hdiutil, including checking a disk image to see if it is encrypted.
HTH,
