Since there seems to be some problem getting my point across I'll put it 
very simple:

umount never gets called!

It doesn't matter if anyone has the drive open if noone tries to unmount 
the damn thing.

And besides, a lazy unmount is designed to avoid this problem with 
processes still having the drive open.
