On mine, I had to add the "device notifier" widget to the panel.  That 
is what does the little pop up here.  Looks like one of your systems 
didn't add that by default, mine didn't either tho.

Oh, the unmount/eject thingy don't work here.  Do a sync command 
somewhere after copying files over to make sure it didn't cache them 
somewhere instead of writing them right then.
