Safely remove USB hard disk:prompt cannot be ejected [Solved]

OK. I am an Archlinux user previously from PCLinuxOS. Archlinux is cool, there is
plenty of things I can customize and has control with, easy managing of daemon,
modules in kernel etc.

OK. Back to my issue.
I am using KDEMod3.

Whenever i right-click and select safely remove my USB hard disk ntfs partition, it will prompt
"the devices was successfully unmounted, but could not be ejected".

I had no such prompt with my thumbdrive which has fat partition.

I am suspecting that it might be a hal or ntfs issue, hence i post my queries here.

I have already install the latest ntfs-3g and follows the wiki guide on hal ntfs.

Any help is appreciated by fellow experienced archlinux users.

Looks like ejecting ext3 partition in the same usb hard disk drive produce the same error.
I just don't understanding what is happening.
Even the everything.log or message.log output shows no error.

Even the eject command will not remove the usb icon on the dekstop.

Below is the output of the eject command


sudo eject -v /dev/sdb6
eject: trying to eject `/dev/sdb6' using SCSI commands
eject: SCSI eject succeeded
