Forgot to ask one thing: do you have an "eject" button for your drive,
or only "unmount"? The Xfce 4.4.2 release was somewhat buggy regarding
the detection of removable media and providing the eject funktion in
the GUI. If you only see "unmount" in the context menu of the drive,
you could try exo-eject in the command line to see if that works for
you.
