Problems with gnome-mount and UFS volumes

I use a UFS formatted USB disk for my VirtualBox container. When I plug
it in, gnome-mount mounts it fine, but I can never unmount it. It
unmounts fine, but remounts again immediately. No errors (and I would not
expect any). I remember when this was a problem for MSDOSFS disks, but
some magic was done to prevent this. It does not seem to work for UFS,
though.

Is there a reasonable way to prevent this from happening? I'd really like
t be able to unplug this disk when I shut down the VirtualBox container.

Running the latest versions of all of the gnome ports and hald.

I would normally attach lshal output, but, since everything runs cleanly
and without error, I don't know that it is needed. If so, let me know.
