Comment(by martin.langhoff):

 Tomeu - I'm failing to repro the "journal keeps mountpoint busy" part of
 the problem today. I can repro however the "failure to unmount is hidden
 by the journal" part.

 There are many reasons why the unmount can fail, including crashed/zombi
 activities leaving open files.

 So --

  - plug in your USB drive, wait till it mounts
  - on a terminal, cd /media/<mountpoint>
  - from the journal, unmount
  - Journal should complain about umount failing...
