I have the same issue. I suspect something unique about our DVD drives
or the way they are defined.
sudo lshw -C disk gives

Title:
"Can't eject cd rom : Inappropriate ioctl for device"
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Can't eject an empty CD-Rom tray.
None of the things suggested here
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/875543) work. At
best, working from a console, I get the message above. At worst, the
CD drawer "grunts" as though trying to eject, but doesn't open.
Using a paperclip to push the hidden manual release does work, and
once the tray has a CD in it, it ejects every time.
