The original submitter's problem was described as:

 Still, there's something weird with umount.cifs: if I (really) mount the 
 remote volume, the command succeeds, but then umount hangs. 
 But <Ctrl-C> can abort it, then the volume *is* unmounted.
 So umount succeeds as well, but the utils fail to get the actual (u)mounted
 status. 

The failure to match up relative paths to /etc/mtab entries is a bug, but is
not related to the failure that Paolo described.
