I do not have access to the system right now, but basically, I do this:
smbmount "\\\\sambaserver\\share_name" local_mount_point -o username=user
Notice, that I do it as a regular user and point into a subdirectory of my
home directory (if that is important)

It asks for password and the share is mounted to local_mount_point.
Now, to unmount, I used to be able to do umount local_mount_point (again
 as a regular user) but now it generates an error.

I have noticed that if I become root and do umount several times, then
it succeeds.

I am using debian unstable.

Am I doing something wrong and there is no bug at all? but it worked in
the past :) ( or maybe that was a bug that it worked?)

Thanks a lot

Lazar
