You (or some process) had the directory open. For exaple, if your
current workng directory was /mnt/pavilion you woul not be able ti
unmount it.

I think this is a case of to much too soon. Get ONE mount working, get
it all figured out, and THEN start adding mount points and mounting
other shares.

The umount is almost certainly because you (or some other process) had
the directory open. The red /mnt items are a mystery, I haven't seen
that before. You can't delete a shadowed mount point though, and I'm
guessing that the shares were still mounted on them, somehow.

You'll need some kind of remote desktop software, windows doesn't work
like X. There's a thing called, um, VNC or similar that does this, I
remember using it some years ago. And I think there's a program called
rdesktop that is a Linux implementation of the windows remote desktop
protocol.
