I usually just, umount the mount point and the mount it again.
umount will gripe and complain, but it in the end it will (for me)
un-mount the share (Try umount twice in a row to see if you get
a differnt error message the second time.) Then you can just mount
it again the usual way.
In my case though, the smb mount may have timed out or something,
enabling me to succeed.
