But interestingly enough, when I try to un-mount this share, it seems to 
unmount (the files are no longer viewable), but the "mount" command 
still lists it as being mounted:

westk@westek:~$ smbumount mnt
westk@westek:~$ mount
<blah blah blah>
dev/hda2 on /home/westk/VMs type ext3 (rw)
//luke/pc_apps on /home/westk/netShares/pc_apps type cifs 
(rw,mand,nosuid,nodev,user=westk)
//luke/pc_apps on /home/westk/mnt type cifs 
(rw,mand,nosuid,nodev,user=westk)
