NSWorkspace and unmounting USB drives

I would like to be able to unmount a USB drive after copying data to it.

When the drive is plugged in, NSWorkspace notifies my app. The device path is "/Volumes/LaCie-Disk" When I use [ws getFileSystemInfoForPath:devicePath ...] ,the volume is writable but not unmountable. [ws unmountAndEjectDeviceAtPath:devicePath] fails - not surprisingly since the device appears to not be unmountable.

My code works fine with a thumb drive but the thumb drive is flagged as unmountable.

There seems to be no difference in how the finder and Disk Utility deal with the USB hard drive vs the flash hard drive. NSWorkspace thinks differently

Any clues or reading directions would be appreciated.
