I also have this problem. I have the original 40gb hard drive that came with my laptop in an external usb case. The nautilus 'eject' command reports that it cannot eject the device and remounts it. Using 'pumount /media/usbdisk' from the command line works. Now, I also use a USB multicard reader which is viewed as four seperate drives and the eject command works without a hitch on that eventhough it of course does not actually do anything but unmount the drive. As above the whole thing worked fine under edgy.
