I never use the GUI file manager, but at a guess I'd say it's stuck and you
should first forcibly unmount it ("umount -Vf /mnt/nt_i") and then you
should be able to remove the directory ("rmdir /mnt/nt_i") from a CLUI.
In my experience SMB network connections to Windows system tend to die
unexpectedly, IMHO the best approach is either to use a Samba server and
let Windows be the client (the Windows end will still die from time to
time, but Windows expects network connections to die and will silently
retry except when it just crashes or decides it's having a bad day and
tells you the network is busy or some such. . .). Failing that at least set
the local SMB mountpoint to mount from autofs so it establishes a (new)
connection when it is accessed rather than trying to maintain a single SMB
connection for a long period of time.
