Sorry for the double posting, delivery errors and a failure of email 
filters made it look like the original post didn't go through.

I did discover a solution though: one needs to cast the 
FileSystemManager to the DefaultFileSystemManager which then gives 
access to a no-argument close() method that does what I need. My release 
method from the sample code now works as:


    public void release() {
        ((DefaultFileSystemManager) this.fsManager).close();
    } // release()


See

Thanks to a posting at

Walter for cluing me in.
