samba - Jan 2008 - Multiple mounts instead of remounting?

I'm having issues trying to remount any shares using samba.

Super Short version
mount -o remount /some_windows_share creates a duplicate mount instead
of properly remounting.

Full details...
I have many shares served off of NT4 boxes, mounted via samba on a
linux box (RHEL 4).
Since long dormant (>12 hour) shares from one server in particular
always have problems for a few seconds when accessing files, I altered
my scripts to mount -o remount.  I expected it would freshen the
mount.  Instead of doing a remount however, it appears to be mounting
_over_ the original.   Not really what I wanted.  Any idea why it's
doing this?  I wanted to avoid doing an unmount then a mount, as some
of these scripts may, on ocasion, be run in parallel.  I know at least
on local drives remounting while in use (at least for read
operations), doesn't appear to cause problems..

Thanks,
