Scott is right. Setting the defaultFolder to some folder that's not on the disk to be ejected will also let you eject it (a little simpler than using the files function).

(Basically, if an application is using a folder as its current working directory, the OS will mark that directory as being in use and won't allow you to eject the volume. It's the same as when you have a file on that disk open and therefore can't eject it.)
