from looking at your code snipset I'm not sure what you really want to 
achieve.
In general you should just do the lookup_user and then examine the AVPs 
afterwards. I think that it is easier then looking at the result code of the 
lookup_user function.
If you really want to distingiush if the call was targeted to an alias or the 
non-alias URI of an user then check for the AVP ruri_canonical. If it is set 
(to the value 1) the URI contained the canonical (=non-alias) URI of the 
user.
If you just want to know if the URI is a know one and belongs to a user, just 
check for the presence of the uid AVP after the lookup_user call. If it is 
present the user is know to the system under the value of the uid AVP. 
Otherwise the user/URI is not known to the system.

Hope this helps
