I ran into a multiple same point mount and saw reference to this solution: 1/ as you (ie mwalters) umount smb4k/SOMECOMPUTER/Media/
2/ as super user (su) umount /home/mwalters/smb4k/SOMECOMPUTER/Media/ No way of really knowing if you were in a similar enough situation, but it worked for me at the time.
