This is indeed a problem with fs.sh.  It attempts to umount with the 
device name rather than the mount point, which is not guaranteed to work 
in all situations.  From mount(8):

"A file system is specified by giving the  directory  where
       it  has been mounted. Giving the special device on which the file 
sys-
       tem lives may also work, but is obsolete, mainly because it will  
fail
       in case this device was mounted on more than one directory."

So that's why it is failing.  The solution is probably to umount with 
the mount point.  I'll open a bug and let Lon decide.

Thank you for pointing this out.
