Stale NFS handle...

I'm a wee bit confused, here. I had a mountpoint, /mnt/foo, which mounted
a remote server. The server rebooted. I did a "umount /mnt/foo", and it
unmounted fine. I even rmdir'd /mnt/foo, and it went away. Now, however,
when I try to re-mount remotehost:/bar/foo, it tells me "stale NFS
handle". Since the remote host rebooted, I assume that the stale portion
is on the local host... but I normally associate stale NFS handles with
things that won't unmount. What's going on? And, more importantly, how
do I fix it?
Thanks,
-Ken
