Apparently 

I had not checked bugzilla nor tried repeating since I have only noticed
it twice, and verified the cause once.  I also have not yet tried to
reproduce it to confirm the details.

As I noted though, it clearly was gamin that caused the "device busy"
error on the CD.  I will retry that soon.

I have also had errors unmounting my pen drive but the device has always
powered down so I did not research that yet either.
