Could you give me an example mount line?  I've never hand-mounted anything 
like an smbfs.

At least there is one common point there, we both have 3.0.6 on the server.

OK - I've put that in, but it doesn't seem to help.

In case I have not made it clear -

From the client - open smb4k
Mount /Public - OK
Umount /Public - OK

Mount /Public - OK
Browse /Public - OK
Umount /Public - will not umount - device or resource busy!
