Jump to Postcould just try to request the username your looking into with the profile feed
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/username
should get a 404 with User not found in the body, if the user is not created.or a normal feed if they exist.

That won't work for me, I need a Variable or something. It cannot be an error page.
