It's possible kpartx is getting confused and is refusing to remove the 
maps if they still exist after running this command.

You can try to remove the device manually with dmsetup:

dmsetup remove d-pdc.oa.cp1

If this succeeds then you can proceed to deactivate the lv/vg. If it 
fails then there is something still using the device and you'll need to 
figure out what it is to get rid of the devices.
