Another NFS nightmare

I just realized that I had one of my home computers connected to Palantir 
via NFS at the time that I shut down Palantir and brought it to RCHS.  Now, 
my home computer can't unmount the NFS share, apparently because it can't 
access the server.  If I try to umount it, my computer says:

umount: /mnt/palantir: Device is busy

If I try to umount with the -f switch, it says:

umount2: Device or resource busy
umount: /mnt/palantir: Illegal seek

How can I really force the computer to unmount an NFS filesystem?
