Could you please try to find out when rsbac_umount is called for which device?
Just
echo debug_ds 1 >/proc/rsbac-info/debug
before shutting down. You should find a message for every device that is
umounted. If one is missing, the mountpoint must be busy - RSBAC holds dentry
references.

VMWare 1.0 is my main test environment, and all versions run fine here. Still,
my VMWare version is very old.

Did you try rsbac_init in a separate thread? Or a non-SMP compile? Also,
v1.1.2-pre7 might make a difference, because the locking has changed a lot.
