 Hi.

Looks like you've been hit by Debian bug #660431:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=660431

Basically, umount.cifs and possibly other umount helpers are
deliberately broken upstream to comply with some obscure systemd design
oddity.

A workaround seems to be:

a) umount cifs filesystem
b) remove symlink /etc/mtab
c) create an empty file /etc/mtab
d) mount cifs filesystem


In my case I said 'screw this', and started using smbnetfs, which:

a) Definitely can be used without root and /etc/fstab entries.
b) Features automatic mounting and un-mounting cifs filesystems.
