I have tinderbox set up to share the distcache, I think the umount
fails, and something then removes the directory, which happens to have
the real contents in it.

If you do an 'lsof' it looks like gam_server monitors every open file
for every process in your gnome session.  Somehow it even started
monitoring the tinderbox directory, even though I opened the tinderbox
session in a console from root.

Here's a sampling of the lsof spewage, again, over 6600 files are opened:
