I was really amused by the image of driving a nail into my food, and
when I figured out s/food/foot/ it just got funnier.

You got it!  sudo kill `ps ax|awk '/nfs/ {print $1}'` was the first
missing step, and lsof was the second.  A cronjob that I'd killed off
had left an innocuous /bin/sh process hung with CWD=/cvs.  Quick kill -9
later and the umount succeeded (twice).

Thanks!
