[Nottingham] CDROM weirdness

[stripes theotoky]

Doesn't appear to be a umount problem as it occurs if I safely remove it
with device notifier or run umount from the terminal.

That is why I thought it might be a stale lock file so is unmounted but the
system doesn't think so.

Will reboot the box 3 times tonight and try unmounting with device
notifier, dolphin and terminal to see if there is any difference.
