DADiskEject and Resource Busy errors

I realize this may not be the best place to ask this question, but I did not see a more suitable list.

I'm using the DiskArbitration framework for unmounting and ejecting removable CD media. I have run into a peculiar issue where sometimes CDs unmount successfully, but fail to eject. My code looks like:

Unmount the disc in preparation for ejection:

DADiskUnmount(disk, kDADiskUnmountOptionWhole, unmountCallback, context);

If the unmount was successful, request the eject in unmountCallback:

		if(NULL != dissenter) {
			DAReturn status = DADissenterGetStatus(dissenter);
			// Error handling omitted
		}

		DADiskEject(disk, kDADiskEjectOptionDefault, ejectCallback, context);

And finally, the code that produces the error message:

		if(NULL != dissenter) {
			DAReturn status = DADissenterGetStatus(dissenter);
			// Error occurs here
		}

The strange thing is, maybe 50% or more of the time the disc will unmount but fail to eject with an error code 16 (Resource Busy). I assume since the disc successfully unmounted that no resources should be in use. I don't see any other DA* APIs that will do what I want.

Have I missed something in my usage of the framework?

Stephen
