Thunar not able to unmount and encrypted zfs dataset on Freebsd 14.2

Not sure if any one has this issue.
Decide to try XFCE 4.20. from KDE5.
Removed KDE5
Installed XFCE 4.20
When I manually mount the zfs encrypted dataset through the terminal.
01) Entering my passphrase for the encrypted zfs dataset.
02) Mounting the dataset through a terminal.
03)  Manually unmount in the same dataset.
04) Unloading the Key.
No issues.

What happens when I mount the zfs encrypted dataset through a terminal then go to Filemanager (Thunar) select the encrypted zfs dataset.
Files load up. Do my work.
Browse completely away from the encrypted dataset.
Make sure that no applications are using the encrypted dataset.

The issue is when I go back to the terminal to unload the encrypted dataset then unmount the dataset.
I receive an error of ( zfs umount 'Poolname' : pool or dataset is busy ).  This is usually caused by something is still using the dataset.
I cannot figure out what is causing this.
This was not the issue with KDE5.
Please let me know how I can help further help in diagnosis the issue.
Thanks

Re: Thunar not able to unmount and encrypted zfs dataset on Freebsd 14.2

Update
Workaround:
Ended up killing the thunar process once.
I was able to umount/mount the encrypted zfs dataset through terminal all day long/or until the next reboot.

It does repeat it self after a reboot of the physical pc.
Not sure what the Physical reboot does or what Thunar is doing once it initiates the first time when clicking on the File manager Icon after a reboot?

Hope this helps someone if they are experiencing the same thing.
