[Linux-cluster] GFS nolock mount on top of existing GFS2 shared mount -- won't umount

I have a new RHEL 5.5 cluster running and created a new GFS2 filesystem to rsync the old filesystem over (leaving the original intact in case we had to do a fail-back for whatever reason).

I made a pilot error by pasting the GFS local mount command on the wrong ssh session window, resulting in:

/dev/mapper/VGCCC-lvolshare55
              gfs2    6.5G   34M  6.5G   1% /cluster/share
/dev/mapper/VGCCC-lvolshare47
               gfs    6.5G   34M  6.5G   1% /cluster/share

No worries, I'll just umount it and do the mount on the correct sesssion.  ACK!!  The umount fails:

$ umount /cluster/share
/sbin/umount.gfs: /cluster/share is not a gfs filesystem
/sbin/umount.gfs2: /cluster/share is not a gfs2 filesystem
/sbin/umount.gfs: /cluster/share is not a gfs filesystem

>From /proc/mounts:

/dev/mapper/VGCCC-lvolshare55 /cluster/share gfs2 rw,noatime,hostdata=jid=1:id=131078:first=0 0 0

/dev/mapper/VGCCC-lvolshare47 /cluster/share gfs rw,noatime,nodiratime,lockproto=lock_nolock,localflocks,localcaching,oopses_ok 0 0

Is this a "bug" or is there another way to force this umount?
