I have not seen the inactive Disk/Eject situation. What I have
seen is this:
o you have a Mac disk mounted, and you change
directory to that disk from (say) a terminal window.
o you drag the disk to the recycler. Nothing apparently
happens, but if you're alert (NPI) you'll see an alert
flash up for half a second and go away.
o the alert you almost didn't see from the previous case
will come up if you eject the disk from the Disk/Eject
menu. It says you can't eject the disk because some
application is using it.
I can't seem to replicate your situation where the Disk/Eject
menu is inactive.
