I've debugged the script with strace.

The problem is with umount() syscall:

[pid 23296] umount("/mnt/tmp-ums-test", 0) = -1 EBUSY (Device or
resource busy)

It is somehow strange, because with strace attached I occasionally see
correct behaviour:

[pid 23776] umount("/mnt/tmp-ums-test", 0) = 0

I need to debug the syscall in the kernel.
