That could quite possibly be it, as I don't always unmount my fileservers when I leave home. I'll make sure to do that from now on, and might just write a script to handle it. Thanks. I wonder if this same issue would crop up with the Amazon Cloud Drive.... It's not much more than a CIFS/NFS mount.
