That's what I suspected - the app is in an I/O wait (technically, "uninterruptible sleep"). Usually this is due to an NFS hang, although it can be caused by other media which has wedged but not timed out. One trick which sometimes works is to unmount the mount point it's stuck on.. if that doesn't work you're pretty much stuck.
You can try to force an unmount of a non-responsive NFS server by using the -f option for umount (and optionally add the -l option).
