It seems that bug #217255 is a fam problem.

I got the same issue with other cases, like nfs mount, zip, floppy, etc.

Doing a "lsof | grep /my-unmountable-dev/" give me only fam processus.

I then tried a "/etc/init.d/fam restart" but it doesn't release my
device. A "killall fam" release it, since it's a little bit "brutal".
Then, I can umount my device an relaunch fam.

I didn't look into nautilus source to find why it don't release devices
looked at by fam because I'm not a nautilus hacker. I wish this mail
could help you.
