It appears Caja has inherited this bug from Nautilus. You can see it here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/254171 and a duplicate with more info here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/417743

Bottom line: users without root privileges can mount FUSE file systems (for instance sshfs, the one I use the most) and while they do appear in Caja, you can't unmount them from there (it displays the message "Unable to unmount file-system-name umount: /path/to/mounted/fs is not in the fstab (and you are not root)")

As you mount them with command line or other tool, the appropriate way to unmount them is with the same tool, I think

I agree with that last bit, but nevertheless I think it would be a nice touch to be able to unmount it through the Caja GUI (if not unmount it right away, it could at least prompt for the sudo pass).

Caja support mount/umount with gvfs. I think add hacks there makes no sense.
