Window manager:		ctwm

What were you trying to do?
  Detach an NFS mount without hesiod.

What's wrong:
  The error from detach is confusing

    [cfox@red-herring]cfox$ attach -e jason:/u1/bitbucket
    attach: jason.MIT.EDU:/u1/bitbucket attached to /jason/u1/bitbucket for filesystem jason:/u1/bitbucket
    [cfox@red-herring]cfox$ detach -e jason:/u1/bitbucket
    Cannot attach locker on /jason/u1/bitbucket:
    directory /jason/u1/bitbucket is not on root filesystem.

  I'm aware that 'detach /jason/u1/bitbucket' would do what I want.
  It's just that the text of the error message is confusing, and the
  detach man page gives no hint of what else the -e option might be
  good for.
