Check that there are no windows open that are using the device, like a 
konqueror window opened browsing files on the device, also make sure that 
there are no daemons using the devices, trying turning famd off and the 
unmounting the device again. There is a script I have used a few times to 
unmount pesky devices, but it is for gentoo, shouldnt be too hard to port to 
another distro though.

http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Script_to_unmount_Busy_Devices

The script on that page, with a little distro-specific tweaking can be very 
useful. If you dont know to convert the script, just try the commands in the 
section "What the script does". Hope this helps :)
