You can try doing an fuser on the device and
and then killing the nsrmmd proc that is using
that device.

i.e.

backer2 3# fuser /dev/rmt/1cbn
/dev/rmt/1cbn:    14928o
backer2 4# ps -fp 14928
     UID   PID  PPID  C    STIME TTY      TIME CMD
    root 14928  9692 14   Feb 24 ?       2716:06 /usr/sbin/nsrmmd -n 9
backer2 5# kill 14928
