OK ... I think what I am seeing is normal. The file '.Trash-jason' is exactly what is says it is - a trash or recycle 'bin' if I may call it that. Files you delete on the share get recorded here and placed in your local recycle bin. (That's nifty - my windows 2000 machine didn't do that!) A process needs to run in memory in order to make this happen, but I don't know why such a process would still be attached to my mount command. Still haven't figured that one out!
