(Possibly umount is unhappy with blank space
characters. Or it's quite likely KDE's eject command
is built on /usr/bin/eject also, thus exhibiting
similar problems.)
Strange, this seems to work just fine on Gnome.
I understand Gnome's the prefered Fedora DE, but it
failing for /usr/bin/eject is perhaps an indication
that blank space characters are evil :-).
It's also an indication that these archaic tools need to be updates. More and
more media you toss at Linux is going to have spaces and such. It's a fact
of life. The toolset should support it.
