umount: kingston is not mounted (according to mtab)

machine:/mnt$ umount kingston

When you tell umount to umount something, you need to give the device or the
mountpoint. If you give it a relative path, that won't work unless you're in
the appropriate dir. So I've gotten in the habit of giving a full path when
mounting or umounting things.
