It can be worth adding a check for "stale" pidfiles left around after a reboot, or kill of the process. Something like this:

Code:
if [ -e "$pidfile" ]
then
    [ -d /proc/$(cat "$pidfile") ] && exit
    echo "Removing stale pidfile: $pidfile"
    rm -f "$pidfile"
fi

That's also a good idea, but a more portable (read: non-linux) approach would be with kill -0 $(cat "$pidfile") && exit.

SYNOPSIS

       udisks-glue [-c config-file] [-f] [-p pidfile] [-s]
       udisks-glue [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       udisks-glue  listens for UDisks DBus events and reacts to them according to the configuration. It can be used to automatically mount remov-
       able devices or perform arbitrary actions in response to events related to removable devices.

       -f/--foreground		 Remain in foreground (don't daemonize)

       -h/--help		 Display usage information and exit

       -p/--pidfile pidfile	 Use pidfile file as the pidfile

       -s/--session		 Enable ConsoleKit session support

FILES

       A configuration file must exist or udisks-glue will fail to start up. If no configuration file is  specified  by  command  line	arguments,
       udisks-glue will look for the following configuration files (in this order):

       1. $HOME/.udisks-glue.conf

       2. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/udisks-glue/config

       3. /etc/udisks-glue.conf
