Is there anyway for my app to see that the file is being written to? I was thinking of looking at 'fuser' or trying to open the file in write mode as a test.
I don't know what 'fuser' is. Opening the file in write mode will always succeed; Unix doesn't have the concept of a 'busy' file. If the Finder uses an exclusive lock on the file while it's being written to, then you could attempt to open the file with an exclusive lock, and it would fail if the Finder already had the file locked. (This is all standard Unix file stuff that you could learn more about from books or online references...)
Maybe you should describe in detail what you're trying to do? There might be a better way to approach the problem.
