Ok, should've tried that before.  But, in my defence, the output from 
umount was kinda confusing.  I would hope it would say "This is a user 
mount.  Use umount -u to remove this".  And yeah, I know, patches 
gracefully considered, just posting my opinion.

I don't really see why umount shouldn't try to remove it as a user-mount 
and if it isn't, remove it as a system mount (if it can).
