Thanks everybody for your valued help.

I had already tried this:
tell application "Finder"
	eject disk myDisk
end tell
no success   :-(

But also Doug's solution (do shell script quoted form of "diskutil unmount /Volumes/myDisk Leo") does not work...

This one works, but it needs nearly 15 seconds to do the job. Maybe it's because it adds a ":" at the end of the disk name in line 1 when compiling..???

This one does not work.
I dont know if this has to do with Tiger (I still use sometimes an iMac G4 "Lamp", because of Classic).
