Without knowing the layout of your system, two things come to mind:

1) Someone has a shell open, and is sitting in the directory/filesystem
2) You have another filesystem mounted as a subirectory of /u5, and /u5
can't be unmounted until that other filesystem is unmounted:

i.e. /u5 is mounted, and then /u5/joeschmoe is mounted as a subdir.
