Buchan,
I've had this problem on some systems (with a number of distro's) and
the problem was that the correct symlink in /dev isn't created. The
default in eject is to eject /dev/cdrom but if the real device for
your ide-scsi is say scd0 ejecting /dev/cdrom won't work. Try this if
for example your real device is /dev/scd0 then type eject scd0 .... if
it ejects then you have the symlink problem. Two fixes either create a
little script that does the eject scd0 or create the symlink.
