Ahhh...of course. Thanks.

I've had some trouble in the past unmounting drives that were auto-mounted, 
but that was with a 2.4 kernel. After unmounting, I wasn't able to mount the 
key anymore (kept getting device read errors) and it wouldn't auto-mount 
either. Maybe it had something to do with the file system on the key being 
unsynced with the main fs...
