    That is the classic error of "There used to be something mounted here,
    but samba isn't talking any more." And a mere umount or smbumount
    doesn't seem to clean up, because (i think,) samba is waiting for
    information to finish whatever transaction it was doing with the remote
    host. Make sure you've unmounted it (I would do a umount /tmp as root)
    and then restart samba (/etc/init.d/samba restart on my machine).

    That should clear things up.

    That happens to me a lot at work, because I get my mp3s via samba off of
    an ME box in the office -- but it is on a linksys hub that gets
    overloaded when we mulitcast ghost images through it.

    But try that and let me know -- it's worked for me (tm).
