Most likely some application keeps the file system busy.  You can use

  fuser -vm /var/autofs/misc/whatever

to see what those are.

If you use a graphical desktop like GNOME, then I bet it's FAM (File
Alternation Monitor) that is the culprit.  Just do

  sudo /etc/init.d/fam restart

and the file system should no longer be busy.
