Ok, that's what I thought.

I know you can do this. ;-)
My question was rather targeted to wards getting the exact error
message. You already sent me the logfile, which helped me a lot, thanks,
now I at least know WHERE the problem is happening, though I don't know
yet WHY it happens. There is no apparent reason.
It seems that umount fails to umount the directory after having copied
the files, even that no process is blocking the directory. While this
is a totally unexpected behavior which I cannot reproduce in my testing
scenarios, I'm trying a "known workaround" for similar problems that I
have seen in flash-knoppix, for the upcoming 7.0.2 release.
