Possibly caused by timing problems--One cannot dismount if the file system is still "busy". I fouind the appropriate script in the shutdown sequence and changed the umount to a umount -l. This "lazy" dismount avoids the timing problem by allowing the file system to be still "silently" mounted until free. I follow this with a sleep of a few seconds to wait for this to happen. Script executes with no errors and the file system is clean on reboot.
