Initial Comment:
If you are trying to umount a folder in the current directory which happens to have the same name as a server, it will autocomplete to the server's name instead of the local directory name:

  mount remote-computer-name:/blah /mnt/remote
  cd /mnt
  umount rem<tab>

The last line is meant to expand to:

  umount remote

But instead it actually expands to:

  umount remote-computer-name:/

The completion code should also check directory names in the current directory for possible expansion.  Perhaps to be extra useful, it could ensure the directory is actually mounted in /etc/mtab too, before considering it for possible expansion.
