I can't help you too much, Bryan, but maybe just enough to let you move ahead.

This mount point is managed by amd (AutoMount Daemon), which I do not use. You might look through your init scripts to find the one that invokes it, then modify the script or disable it completely (depending on whether it does other things you still need done). Or maybe Mandrake's "services" configuration offers a way to control amd.

Beyond that ... you still need to use "lsof" to find out what process has something in that directory (or perhaps the directory itself) open to interfere with the umount command. Or the control file "/etc/amd.net" may contain illuminating information.

Here's what I know:  I'm running Mandrake 9.0 kernel 2.4.19-16mdk.  In
the "services" configuration (which sets up what daemons and other
services start at boot automatically etc...) I tried to stop netfs and
nfslock by stopping them and changing their startup to "manual" instead
of "on boot".  But it didn't take.  In the syslog logfile it says that
amd was the last process to mount /net.  The only reason I installed
these services is because I am planning on putting this machine on a
home network with a WinXP box.  Could it be having problems because
there is nothing to find in the /net folder?  Since it is not listed in
/etc/fstab is there any way to get rid of it?
