This works ...

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..???
The colon is odd. 'posix path' should remove the colon.
I just looked at this (in 10.6.8) and there is no colon.
The colon is added by the word "alias" in the property definition. I get the same result omitting this word, and then, no colon is added...
This reminded me of something I had to do in a script some years ago. But I had forgotten where or when. A little searching revealed ...
set folderPath to (POSIX path of (folderAlias as text)) if (last character of folderPath) = "/" then set folderPath to (text 1 thru -2 of folderPath) end if
So, fixing the problem may be as simple as deleting the last character of a posix path.
