I had this problem once (I forget exactly what) but I solved it differently.
I edited the umountfs script so that it first went through and remounted all
the partitions read-only. Since the library is open but not writable this
succeeds.
The umount still fails but since the drive isn't read-write on the reboot,
no fsck on next boot.
I've done this on many boxes since it also handles the case where your NFS
server has died and you have it hard mounted. Eventually you can just turn the
machine off and since the drives are all read-only, no fsck on boot. I did
put a sync in there for good measure also :).
I'm not sure if this is a good general solution but it certainly works.
