Totally a guess, but do you have any system indexing tools like Beagle
running?
They might be trying to catalogue your drive while you're trying to
unmount it.
Just a wild stab.

I have an external USB HD. When I tried to "eject" it from the gnome
desktop it objected on the grounds of being in use. lsof reported
nothing. umount worked fine with no complaint. I've seen this sort of
behavious before. I also had some problems with the system arguing with
an iPod - refusing to unmount, then unmounting spontaneously. Not sure
if the two are related but they both happened about the same time.
Any thoughts?
