AppleScript to 'eject' iPod after copying is done. Need a trick!

Question

I'd like my AppleScript to eject my iPod Shuffle after it is done copying podcasts to it. Unfortunately, the 'duplicate' command is "asynchronous", meaning that it returns immediately, without waiting for the copies to complete. More unfortunately, instead of failing, the 'eject' command puts up a stupid dialog asking if it wants the copying to be interrupted, and halts copying until the user replies.
Does anyone know a to work around this?

Here is the tail end of my podcast-updating script:
set nNewPodcasts to (count of newPodcasts)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"
if (nNewPodcasts > 0) then
set newPodcastNamesList to newPodcastNames as text
display dialog "There are " & nNewPodcasts & " new podcasts:" & return & return & newPodcastNames & return & return & "Should copy these to " & iPodName & "?" buttons ["No", "Copy"] default button 2
if button returned of result is "Copy" then
with timeout of 30 * 60 seconds
repeat with aTrack in newPodcasts
try
log "Copying " & name of aTrack
duplicate aTrack to iPodPlaylist
end try
end repeat
end timeout
end if
else
display dialog "There are no new podcasts to copy to " & iPodName
end if
-- Eject the iPod
(* Unfortunately, the "duplicate" above is another asynchronous command; i.e. it returns before the job is complete. Therefore, we try and work around this by trying to eject the iPod repeatly every 5 seconds until success. But, instead, it puts up a stupid dialog. *)
repeat while exists thePod
log "iPod " & iPodName & " exists"
try
eject thePod
on error
log "Could not eject iPod"
end try
delay 4
end repeat
say iPodName & " has been ejected"

Use Disk Utility to burn disc images. Select the image to burn, then click on the Burn icon in the DU toolbar. The subsequent dialog has several options you can choose including Eject after burning.
