Is there any way to request that the workspace request the current
removable-media disk in the drive?  Because of file permissions (and
not wanting to run the program with root permissions) I can't use DKIOCEJECT.

Thanks.

If you're using 3.0, this is another job for 
NXWorkspaceRequestProtocol.  Use the method  
(BOOL)unmountAndEjectDeviceAt:(const char *)path.

Cheers,
