Known problem in debian, see the bug reports. As a work around, you can
always unmount all unmountable devices by 
killall -USR1 autofs (or whatever the daemon is called).
Using sudo, you can do that as a user, so you can put an icon on your
panel (if you have one).

Or you might try supermounter, but that's a kernel patch and it does not
apply cleanly to newer kernels, so I didn't pursue that - YMMV.
