Dunno. I normally use the eject button :) My thought is that you should
namually umount the drives first and then try a "eject -s /dev/sdc"

I checked the YDL-2.1 install cd list from the YDL website and autofs is
listed there, you may need to install it by hand from the CD, as I'm not
sure about how the YDL installer devines what packages it sould and
shouldn't install.. This might be mhy you don't have a man page, it's not
installed! :)
