Automagical mounting no longer working

Another problem I have, which I believe could be related: 

Eject doesn't work anymore on my CD ROM. I can't eject at all -
neither by pressing the eject button on the CDROM, nor by selecting
the mounted CD and choosing eject. The only way to eject is to reboot!
This is driving me nuts enough to have to switch back to Windows :-)
