Could be because of some symbolic links from /usr to /var or elsewhere,
so if you umount everything in the *right* order (ha.. ha..), it should
work.  Guess you were in single user mode. 

If you followed what I wrote earlier, you will have a stale /usr/varcopy
(yes /var/varcopy is now /usr/varcopy) lying around. You can safely
delete it.

Have fun,
