I have seen this on many occasions; For me, at least, it appears as if 
nautilus is keeping a reference for itself.  That is, I have an icon on 
my desktop representing the CF device, and I can't umount from the 
command line - I can only unmount by right clicking on the desktop icon 
and selecting the unmount option.  There are times when I physically 
have to kill nautilus from the command line to have it relenquish 
control, allowing me to unmount the device.

HTH...
