Make sure you actually Quit any applications that may have used files
from the disk image. Even though you may have closed the file's window,
some applications do behave naughtily and still stop a volume from
being ejected (in some cases I think it's to do with a badly programmed
Open / Save routine that keeps the location "current" for next time you
bring up an Open / Save window).
