This appears to be a variant on a bug fixed in samba 3.0.25b-2:

  * cifs-umount-trailing-slashes.patch: canonicalize mount point names when
    umount.cifs is called, to avoid unnecessarily leaving entries behind in
    /etc/mtab if invoked with a trailing slash in the mount point name

Even with that fix, umount.cifs assumes that you will unmount using an
absolute path rather than a relative path.

hyperair, as a workaround I recommend that you use the absolute path
when unmounting cifs shares, until this can be resolved.
