If you're running your DE without any of the usual background daemons they
like to use, then technically you should be able to eject any time. I don't
know if Myth needs the drive mounted or not, since I set up supermount to
take care of all that automatically (this mounts the drive and gives access
to the device as soon as it's inserted).
Have you verified that the eject button actually works? Try ejecting the
drive when you're in the BIOS or something. If it won't work there, chances
are your switch is goosed and you'll need to RMA it.
