Try running mounting auto, rather than supermount, and use
KwikDisk.
     

Tried with and without supermount. And doesn't KwikDisk just
automate the mount command?
   

KwikDisk is useful if you want to mount/umount when combined with 
automount.  It may not have a bearing on your problem, but it's one 
thing you could try.

 

I don't think this is just a case of supermount being broken. The
previous filesystem to be mounted seems to be'remembered' after it
has been unmounted, which stops a second one being mounted.
   

I don't think supermount is broken.  It's just that if it knows about 
anything, anywhere on your system that is acting as a file manager at 
that moment it will not release the lock.  That's why it is essential 
to shut down all Konqueror windows, or similar, even if they are 
looking elsewhere.

Hope that makes it clearer.
