HAL doesn't show root partition as mounted?

It appears that HAL doesn't show very consistent information for the
partition mounted as the root filesystem; it says that it is mounted
under the linux.fstab section, but unmounted under the volume section
(which my app is using). Here's the relevant parts of lshal -l

udi =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_cde76234_4e6e_4954_aa8c_c9ec2a55c2d0'
  volume.unmount.valid_options = {'lazy'} (string list)
  volume.mount.valid_options = {'ro', 'sync', 'dirsync', 'noatime',
'nodiratime', 'noexec', 'quiet', 'remount', 'exec', 'data='} (string list)
  volume.ignore = true  (bool)
  info.udi =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_cde76234_4e6e_4954_aa8c_c9ec2a55c2d0'
 (string)
  linux.fstab.options = 'defaults,errors=remount-ro,user_xattr'  (string)
  linux.fstab.mountpoint = '/'  (string)
  info.capabilities = {'volume', 'block'} (string list)
  info.category = 'volume'  (string)
  volume.is_mounted_read_only = false  (bool)
  volume.is_mounted = false  (bool)
  volume.mount_point = ''  (string)
  block.device = '/dev/hda3'  (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 3  (0x3)  (int)

Is this intended or is it a glitch? If it's the former, what's the
correct way to go through all the volumes on a drive and see if any of
them are in-use?
