Bug Description

I think I just plugged my external USB disk, went await, and the message was there waiting for me when I came back. Unfortunately I do not manage to reproduce it...

Anyway, I think this "error message" should not be prompted like that :

Error ejecting /dev/sdb: Command-line `eject "/dev/sdb"' exited with no-zero exit status 1: eject: unable to find or open device for: `/dev/sdb'

This error message should probably be more intelligible if it is to be shown to an end-user like me.

Hope this will help.
