[plug] Nautilus hangs in fluxbox.

After mucking around with /etc/fstab I thought I'd got to a point
where I could get any user to mount a usb disk with the command "mount
/mnt/memstick"

# fstab entry for usb-drive
"/dev/sda1               /mnt/memstick   auto            noauto,user  
          0 0"

There was no problems reading the device as any user after issuing the command.

I then opened up nautilus in fluxbox to see if everything was running
smoothly, but then nautilus hangs and nothing will kill it, it's
clearly still accessing /mnt/memstick, because I am unable to unmount
the device. All varieties of kill fail to kill the nautilus process
and I'm left with a window that won't close on my desktop. I'm certain
that I can just restart X and everything will be peachy, but I should
be able to fix this problem without resorting to that right?

I'm running gentoo with an up to date, stable (mostly) portage tree
and the linux-2.6.9-rc2-mm1 kernel.

"tail --lines=10000 /var/log/messages | grep nautilus"
returns
"Process nautilus (pid: 22382, threadinfo=cb222000 task=daec3550)"

"umount /mnt/memstick"
returns
"umount: /mnt/memstick: device is busy"

"killall -v nautilus" - and several variations of this appear to work.
"Killed nautilus(22383) with signal 15"
but on the next "ps -A" it's still there.

Upon a "ps aux" nautilus returns a status of "R"

Just ran "nautilus -c" from a terminal and it returned this error:

"FAIL: check failed in nautilus-file.c, line 5623
      evaluated: nautilus_file_get_display_name (file_1)
       expected: Trash
            got: trash:///"


... Any insight?
