When I had schroot "forget" things on my machine, I too found that the -e
--all options didn't fix the problem.  I guess the idea is that if schroot
knew enough for that command to work then it probably would have cleaned up
on its own without prodding.

If I recall, being specific would work.  Each schroot mount has a long hex
GUID, so use:

  schroot -e --chroot=GUID

It's been awhile, but I believe that helped me get rid of those spurious
mounts.

If this is one of the combinations you've already tried... I guess it's time
to review your schroot config and contact the devs.
