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...

I want to unmount a volume.

This works ...
property myDisk : alias "LutherFuller-2"
quoted form of (POSIX path of myDisk)
do shell script "diskutil unmount " & the result
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..???
But, so does this ...
tell application "Finder" to eject myDisk
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).
This hah worked for me since I compiled it under Tiger or maybe Leopard. It works very fast.
set whatItem to (do shell script "diskutil list | grep 'Your Disk Name'") do shell script "diskutil unmount " & (last word of whatItem)
