out of syc with fstab? KDE won't start

I did something really stupid the other night. I tried to mount my windows partition into a directory while it was already mounted at another mount point. this caused everything to hang and I had to control alt delete. not surprisingly, this has resulted in a few problems 1) the KDE graphical login is looping, i.e. I login, hit enter and then I get a blank login prompt again. if I try to start KDE from a command line I get: "not enough free disk space on /tmp" - Basically I can't start KDE.
2)after a restart, the mount point onto which I had mounted the win partition on (/mnt/win98) still seems to be mounted even though its not mentioned in /etc/fstab - if I try to 'umount' it I get: "umount: /dev/hda1: not found umount: /mnt/win98: not mounted
these messages seem inconsistent with the fact that I can see all the files on the /mnt/win98 partition with 'ls.'
