The problem was that my server has 2 IP addresses (on different subnets). The client was on subnet B and the server reported its IP address as being on subnet A, which is not routable for the client.
I can fix the problem by explicitly setting the IP address of the server in the server config file.

Like Steffen said in his mail, there are multiple possible reasons for the umount to fail. You can try "umount /coda", if that fails any of the causes he mentions could be the reason umount is failing. lsof | grep /coda, and kill are your friends here. Jan
