strange unmounting problem.



Hi,
  I recently did the redhat kernel upgrade to 2.4.9-31 and found that an old 
smartmedia reader I had now works :)  (Lexar USB SmartMedia Reader) and shows 
up as vfat formatted scsi drive.  
Everthing went fine until I tried to unmount it.  It says the device is busy 
and when I run fuser -v on it the device it says that mount is tieing the 
device up.

/etc/fstab entry:
/dev/sda1	/mnt/smedia	auto	noauto, user, rw	0 0

data from of 'fuser -v /mnt/smedia'
		USER	PID	ACCESS COMMAND
/mnt/smedia	root	kernel	mount	/mnt/smedia

Now this doesn't make any sence to me, because the device sucessfully mounted 
and i was able to copy my pictures off of it with no problem.  So why is 
mount still running on it?  Oh just to confuse matters, if I log out of X I 
can unmount it.  Any ideas?   (oh yea, this is all being done from my user 
account, not root)
