I would check to see if there are any files open on the drive.  In
particular, Konqueror was bad for leaving files open, preventing you
from un-mounting or ejecting CDs/DVDs.

If your CD is mounted on /media/cdrom then try

lsof | grep /media/cdrom

If cd/dvd is mounted you cannot eject it. First you must unmount it.
If it's not mounted you can eject it directly.

In addition: if I run eject -v it reports that the command was success
full. Mounting the disc again and umount it immediately again seems to
solve the problem?

Usually it means that something is still accessing the mount point, you
could try 

Bash#lsof | grep /cdrom/mountpoint

To see what is still accessing the cd/dvd

Thank you,

Hi,

Intermittently I am unable to eject my dvd/cdrom. Is there a way to
determine whether Linux is refusing to eject the dvd/cdrom or if it is a
hardware related problem?

Most probably some process still has a file open on there.  Use something like
# lsof |grep cdrom
to determine what process this is, then deal with it appropriately.  If it's a 
daemon  {famd is a likely culprit}  try sending SIGHUP first.
