Try umount -f

The problem is likely that HAL or one of its friends helpfully has the
device open just in case you might want to ask questions about it.

That works!
I did not have to do that before the recent updates to XFCE4 and Xorg
but as long as I can umount, I'm happy.

Saw the same thing here, also with xfce. lsof reports nothing open on either the mountpoint or the device.

fstat blames gam_server:

% fstat /home/wblock/Desktop/removable-storage/
USER     CMD          PID   FD MOUNT      INUM MODE         SZ|DV R/W NAME
wblock   gam_server  1409  776 /usr/home/wblock/Desktop/removable-storage
