When trying to eject a USB camera in thunar in xfce4, the error
appears and the device does not umount.  Here is a command that also
produces the error:

# udisks --detach /dev/sdb
Detach failed: Error detaching: helper exited with exit code 1:
Detaching device /dev/sdb
USB device: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb2/2-6)

(Continuing despite SYNCHRONIZE CACHE failure.)
STOP UNIT: FAILED: No such file or directory

I get the following:

# equery depends udisks
 * These packages depend on udisks:
gnome-base/gvfs-1.12.3-r1 (udisks ? >=sys-fs/udisks-1.90:2)
gnome-base/libgdu-3.0.2 (=sys-fs/udisks-1.0*:0)

# emerge -pv gvfs libgdu
