John, If I understand the man page the 'eject' command lets you remove the media from a drive. But, it may not necessarily unmount the drive from the kernel's view. From the command line, as a user, try 'umount /dev/<drive>'. If the GUI front end mounted it as root, then you need to be root (via sudo) to umount it. If it's still stuck then a reboot will definitely clean up the system. Something to do while watching the new year crawl in.
