What, besides open files, can keep a volume busy?

I've got a network drive mounted, and it shows up in the Finder. I tried to unmount it, but the Finder reports that it's busy. I used lsof to see what processes still had it open, and it reported nothing. I even tried running it as root. I ran it like this:


Then I checked the mounts, and got these two (the second is a disk image on the network drive, which is usually unmounted automatically by my backup software):


//WORKGROUP;RMANN@TSUNAMINAS/TWINAEROBACK on /Volumes/TWINAEROBACK (nodev, nosuid, mounted by rmann)
/dev/disk2s2 on /Volumes/TwinAeroSuperDuperBackup (local, nodev, nosuid, journaled)



And looking, I see it on the desktop (it's a bit cluttered).

So, I'm puzzled by lsof not reporting anything. Do I misunderstand its use? Am I missing some flags?

I'm trying to use lsof in a utility to report processes with open files, and now I'm finding it's unreliable for that.

Thanks!
