I reply to my own post. I have done some further investigations. The 
Results: 

I have found the program standing behind the mount/unmount/safely 
remove menue entries and tested this program.

kio_media_mounthelper /dev/sda2 works as expected and mounts my 
device. 

kio_media_mounthelper -u /dev/sda2 works as expected too. It unmounts 
my device

kio_media_mounthelper -s /dev/sda2 does not make anything to a mounted 
device (at least nothing I can see)

kio_media_mounthelper -e /dev/sda2 has the same efect as the -s one.

btw: eject /dev/sda as root unmounts my usb-stick and removes the icon 
from the desktop (and the media list). The same command with my IPod 
only unmount the device.

So I am a little step further, but not at the end.
