Auto-Ejecting a Network Drive Post-Backup

***I really did try to search first, both here and on Google***

Synopsis:

We have about 10 Macs in our office and also a Dell PowerEdge Server with a lot of storage on a large RAID and gigabit ethernet available. Several of the computers are already backed up via Time Machine, but I'd like to have bootable copies for everyone ready to go. I'm the test mule.

What I've got thus far:

(1) Marco Polo recognizes I'm at the office, waits a little bit and runs an Automator file that (2) mounts the network drive, (3) sends a growl notification not to interfere, and (4) loads SD via the personalized settings file through AppleScript, which then, after backup, (5) ejects the image that it's updating (Smart backup) on the server and (6) closes SD. (5 & 6 are from within SD.)

So far, so good.

Could someone help me with writing a script to have SD run at the end that does last step of ejecting the network drive?

Our Macs connect to the windows server via SMB. The actual address is: "smb://192.168.0.5/Mac Backups" (or "smb://192.168.0.5/Mac%20Backups" if it can't use the space")

Thanks!!!
