run smbstatus and see if the shared folder is being used by someone, yourself maybe. Make sure you are on in a directory of the share when you try to umount it.

There is a good chance you have cd'ed into that directory or are accessing that directory with konqueror or kfm.

This is probably not the answer, but do you have any shells cd to the drive? I find this happens to me if I have the mount point open in a shell script.
