As Ray mentioned earlier, it would be easier to come up with a possible remedy
if we knew what you were doing. But, here's a something else that might help.
Try using lsof:
lsof | grep /mnt/cdrom .
lsof will output the program(s) that is(are) using resources on /mnt/cdrom.
Now simply quit (or kill those programs) and you should be able to unmount
the cdrom drive.
