You’ll see a little dot below the app’s icon in the Dock, that means the app is still running. Click next a couple of times and evade toolbars or freeware apps. You can't avoid them (but see the dotclean answer by Saeid Zebardast -they can be removed from a directory if that is what you need). They're created to store file information that would otherwise go into an extended attribute on HFS+ (Apple native) or Unix/UFS volumes; in earlier Mac OS this would be the resource fork.

In response to your comment, I looked up 'Do Something When'. It's a great concept and I'd rather use something like that than the wrapper I wrote for umount.
However, the site for DSW seems to be down more often than it's up, but I did manage to get connected after a while and download it. I installed it, then ran the preference pane. I was told that to use it, System Preferences would need to restart. I've seen that kind of thing before, so I wasn't surprised. The surprise came when I quit System Preferences, then some time later opened the DSW pane again. System Preferences again told me that it would need to restart. So as an experiment, I quit System Preferences and reopened the pane several times in a row. *Every time* System Preferences said it needed to restart.
Then I looked into the contents of the prefPane for DSW. I found that it contains multiple nested copies of itself. I think something is very wrong there. I think the developer needs to do some work on it.
Also, I wish that DSW could be told to run its rules on volumes of a certain type rather than specific names. I use a lot of external USB drives and I hate to make a rule for each one of them.
I hope the author will make some updates to DSW soon.
