Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

Using Bytestor 16 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive.
Device mounts correctly. Files can be copied to device but when using "Safely Remove Device" the error message " unable to stop usb memory" is received.
This only occurs with the 16 GB drive and this 16 GB drive works with Windows XP's "safely remove".
The sys log shows the same entries for this device and another 2 GB drive which doesn't give the error message.
Using "unmount" or "eject" from the same menu do not give this error message.
Screen shot of error message attached.
