Every file in the USB will belong to a specific tracker:Volume; and when
you eject the USB that Volume will be marked with tracker:isMounted set
to FALSE and all the files in the volume with tracker:available set to
FALSE as well. If you don't mount the USB in 3 days (IIRC there is a
bugreport to make that number configurable), all the resources of that
tracker:Volume will be removed.

See http://live.gnome.org/Tracker/Documentation/Examples/SPARQL/Volumes
for more info on Volumes.
