"Cannot eject volume" when pressing eject button of my optical drive

Hi,

Gnome shows 2 "Cannot eject volume" popups when I want to eject an inserted CD by pressing the eject button of my optical drive. But after the 2 messages, the CD doesn't get ejected (it gets only unmounted), I have to press the eject button once again.

When I eject the CD by right-clicking on the CD icon on my desktop and select "Eject" everything works just fine, but it's annoying that I have to use the context menu to eject my CD.

Does anyone experienced the same problem? I never had this problem before and I've got no idea what could cause this problem.

Gnome 2.22-1
hal 0.5.10-1
kernel 2.6.24-ARCH

--------------------------

Since you're using hal, have you commented out the cd/dvd entries in /etc/fstab?

yes, I have.

I have no idea how I should find out what is causing this problem. There is no log entry in the whole /var directory.
lshal -m shows:

(with eject button)

Start monitoring devicelist:
-------------------------------------------------
20:24:58.352: storage_model_UJ_845D property storage.removable.media_available = true
20:24:58.372: storage_model_UJ_845D property storage.cdrom.write_speeds = {'4234', '1411'}
20:24:58.670: volume_label_Arch_Linux_CORE_i686 added
20:24:58.921: volume_label_Arch_Linux_CORE_i686 property volume.mount_point = '/media/Arch Linux CORE i686'
20:24:58.923: volume_label_Arch_Linux_CORE_i686 property volume.is_mounted_read_only = true

20:25:06.346: storage_model_UJ_845D condition EjectPressed =

Here the popups occur - and I have to press the eject button again, output continues:

20:25:14.384: volume_label_Arch_Linux_CORE_i686 property volume.mount_point = ''

20:25:14.441: volume_label_Arch_Linux_CORE_i686 removed

(with eject from gnome context menu)

This worked for me.  Thanks!
