I just had that problem in gnome.  Things I tried were adding my user to storage, optical and disk groups... commenting out your drives in /etc/fstab.

Go ahead and post your fstab for us.

Try commenting out your optical drives

Re: Hal not automounting and ejecting in kdemod

Hmm, in gnome when I pushed the eject button on my cd drive nothing would happen unless I manually unmounted the drive.  When I added my user to the disk group it worked but still gave me an error afterwards.  The error isn't a biggie, just click OK and its gone.

You could try adding yourself to disk group and see what happens.
