Oh, and one more big thing, a user can use:

vi /mnt/crypt/blah.txt, and vi will still open a file even though mounting has
been called for.  Same goes for any other command used on /mnt/crypt before
it's mounted.

And I think this is where dbus/udev would step in and hold or wait command and
mount before proceeding with the command on the filesystem.
