I think perhaps that some old pkg-config files for UMFPACK is lying around
and creating trouble. Run, e.g., 'locate umfpack.pc' and delete the files
that are displayed. Then run scons again. The umfpack.pc file will now be
regenerated and you should see something like this in the output:

Checking for umfpack... no (pkg-config file not found)
 Trying to generate pkg-config file for umfpack... done
 Found UMFPACK and generated pkg-config file in
 '/home/johannr/src/hg/dolfin/scons/pkgconfig'

Hopefully, this will resolve your problems with UMFPACK.
