	I don't know a neat way to do this, but when I'm trying to get
people off a filesystem I want to unmount, I use "ps -aeww | grep directory"
which *sometimes* catches it, if the person is using a shell that keeps
a $CWD or something like that in the environment.

	Otherwise, the only approaches I can think of involve rummaging
around in the user structs. :( u_cdir, and follow the gnode.
