Thanks so much for the help. You really helped my understand this issue much better. My work around is to monitor the growth of the file. When it no longer increases then the daemon moves forward with processing any files it finds.

local-filesystems(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual local-filesystems(7)
NAME
local-filesystems - event signalling that local filesystems have been mounted
SYNOPSIS
local-filesystems [ENV]...
DESCRIPTION
The local-filesystems event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted all local filesystems listed in fstab(5). moun-
tall(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with other
activity.
This event is typically used by services that must be started in order for remote filesystems, if any, to be activated. Remember that some
users may not consider it wrong to place /usr on a remote filesystem. For most normal services the filesystem(7) event is sufficient.
This event will never occur before the virtual-filesystems(7) event.
EXAMPLE
A service that wishes to be running once local filesystems are mounted might use:
start on local-filesystems
