I dont believe this unable to eject problem has anything to do with 
anything thinking it's mounted.

famd upon load seems to cause this error.
end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 0

That's my cdrom.  Perhaps the kernel has a bug in the code dealing with 
an access to the cdrom where no media is mounted and/or loaded.  Either 
way, this is at boot and seems to be a kernel bug initiated by FAM. At 
least the version distributed with debian-unstable.  I dont use gnome (i 
do have some gnome programs installed to test on) and the error message 
was reported soon after the loading of FAM.
