Found the reason why I cannot umount the share after accessing it. Maybe it is interessting for someone out there. On my Client runs Samba which shares /export In that folder there are some other subfolders. One is a folder which is controlled by automount (/export/usbstick) To access the Stick I have to access /export/usbstick/usbstick (the second one is the key, specified in auto.master). This all happens localy - so far no problem.
Now comes Samba into play. On a remote session I mount the share into /media Now I have /media/usbstick The key "usbstick" is invisible, BUT samba seems to interpret the key and gives them a random name (for my stick it is allways the same). So Konquerer shows me /media/usbstick/_2X68P~X (which is the same as /media/usbstick/usbstick). Accessing that folder is no problem. When I browse the second time to the folder /media/usbstick, konquerer shows me sometimes "usbstick" too. Accessing now /media/usbstick/usbstick is also no problem. BUT, accessing the first time /media/usbstick/usbstick with a direct link brings the problem with umount as described above. Seems a problem with automount in association with smb. My solution at the moment is to access the stick by browsing its location - not accessing it with a direct link.
