This man page has the following section:

udisksctl unmount {--object-path OBJECT | --block-device DEVICE}

What is an OBJECT? I tried to give it a path (i.e. media/tim/name) but it doesn't accept that.

What do I need to tell it?

UDisks2 uses D-Bus "objects". These are essentially paths to data structures.

Here's how the manual puts it:

The process that owns the well-known D-Bus name org.freedesktop.UDisks2 on the system bus (typically udisksd) exports an object at the well-known path /org/freedesktop/UDisks2. This object implements the org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager interface and should be used by clients to discover other objects.
