Are you using fam?
Can you stop fam, umount successfully and then start fam?

Hi Baz, hola Amaya
> Are you using fam?
FAM daemon used to keep additional monitor one path back in history from the
actual one, IIRR. (Still valid?) So, for example, moving a filemanager two levels
away from the mountpoint would release it for mountd. Which is ugly.
As far as i can see, KDE apps runs nearly flawless without FAM, they maintain their
own monitor. Same for gnome-commander.
However, as an example, the 'file open' dialog of Gimp doesn't get updated
if you remove a file with konqueror. (It works the other way round of course.)
Maybe it's worth to deinstall fam and look if you are really missing too
much. (Me not;)

Some process has its current working directory on the flash drive or
some application has a file on the flash drive open.
the process needs to change its current working directory off the drive
or the application needs to close the file.

OpenOffice is bad for that. See if the quickstarter is running, and try opening an OO document on the hard drive.

Just a quick note, /usr/sbin/lsof +D might be
quicker.

Agreed. I've paired it down to just debian-user, as I can't
see what this has to do with laptops.

try removing gnome-mount (if installed), it solved for me some weeks ago.

I get this a lot when I delete files on the device.
Empty the trash (or remove /where/mounted/.Trash- directory)
and then try to umount it.
That is annoying to me.
