Yep, I've observed the same issue: sometimes, eject doesn't work
with firewire optical devices.
Try to run the following dtrace script, and send an eject to the firewire
device.
What values are printed for "l_nosup_tur" and "l_nosup_start_stop"?

printf("l_rmb_orig %d, l_nosup_tur %d, l_nosup_start_stop %d,

self->lp->l_rmb_orig, self->lp->l_nosup_tur,
self->lp->l_nosup_start_stop, self->lp->l_nosup_inquiry);
