I've noticed that my IPod also experiences this and after I've
eventually ejected it the device stills gives the impression that it is
communicating with my computer (i.e. it says do not remove device on the
screen of the IPod). I know that at least Ubuntu and Fedora have
figured out how to properly communicate with an IPod so that it can be
safely removed (i.e. that warning goes away and my battery icon comes
on). Maybe looking into how Ubuntu and Fedora fixed this might shed
some light on how to what's wrong.

Hi,
I need som help tracking down this issue, figuring out if it's a bug, a
misconfiguration on my part or something else.
I have an Ipod (USB device) and when I use eject from nautilus or the
terminal, I get this error message: "eject: unable to open `/dev/sdb2'".
The Ipods are configured in HAL to be ejected, not only unmounted, for
the display to say "It's now safe to remove".
If I run eject as root, everything works fine.
I found an earlier thread about a similar issue, blaming udev, but
before I report a bug I'd like to get this confirmed.

Thanks in advance,
