I had a quick play and review but not 100% sure yet - might be best to
punt this one to 0.7

I think it handles unmount signal so hopefully tracker stops indexing it
- I mean it should not keep open any files open except for the database
files and maybe the email mboxes when email indexing.

I dont have external usb device to test it with though so would
appreciate more feedback...
