I don't suppose the user "netchild" has a uid of 0? Try it as root. Yes, off course... I really tried it as root, this was just to cut & paste the error message... I needed to transfer to a harddisk which was connected via USB, and there I first mounted the wrong partition, tried to umount it, it failed and then I just mounted the right partition over the already mounted one. Transfered some files, tried again to umount the partitions, failed again (of course) and then just pulled the USB plug because the disk was needed somewhere else. As I don't have user-mount enabled, and I didn't changed the terminal window between the first umount and the following mount, I did it definitively as root. I think the real error was device busy or something like this... you know, the error you get when something still accesses data on the partition you try to umount. Perhaps rev 1.69 of src/sys/fs/msdosfs/msdosfs_denode.c fixes this (I don't think so, alt least the commit message dosn't suggests something like this), I will try it as soon as the drive is available again.
