Here's how I got it to work. The idle handler in the AppleScript checks whether SuperDuper is running; if so, it comes back after 2 secs to check again. When SD is gone, that must mean the share isn't being used any more. So then it ejects, then quits itself. (Replace "YourShare" with the name of your share.)

The Applescript needs to be saved as App, with "stay open" option active.


Code:
global BackupInProgress, BackupPartPresent

on goodbye()
	quit
end goodbye

on idle
	if BackupInProgress is false then
		
		tell application "Finder"
			if (exists the disk "YourShare") then
				eject "YourShare"
				set BackupPartPresent to false
				
			end if
			if (exists the disk "YourShare") then
				
			end if
		end tell
		goodbye()
	else
		tell application "System Events" to (creator type of processes) contains "SdPr"
		
		set BackupInProgress to the result
		-- beep 1
		--return 2
		
	end if
	return 2
	
end idle
on run
	set BackupPartPresent to true
	
	tell application "System Events" to (creator type of processes) contains "SdPr"
	
	set BackupInProgress to the result
	
	idle
end run
Since SD can't seem to call scripts that stay open, I have this snippet called from SD (replace "/path/to/TheAppleScript.app" with path to where your Applescript resides)

Code:
open ~/path/to/TheAppleScript.app
exit
For some reason, I couldn't get it to work with the "osascript" command.

Actually this feature should really be built in!
