to mount or not to mount

I have this line in /etc/fstab:
192.168.253.13:/home/mobileits /home/mobileits  nfs     noauto,user  0 0

and I can manually mount it and access it. After using it for a while, I 
  unmount it and it does not report any error and mount command does not 
show it in the mount list any more. umount it the second time gets an 
error that it is not currently mounted

But in fact, I still be about to access that remote directory and its 
files and /proc/mounts does show it is still mounted.

[vu at ef proc]$ more mounts

Any idea why ? Thanks.
