Sorry to be so dense: Patrick was right and mtab was different to /etc/fstab.
On this machine, /dev/cdrom is soft linked to /dev/sbpcd to please some programs which prefer it that way. /etc/fstab had /dev/sbpcd /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user 0 0 and /etc/mtab had /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user 0 0 One change so that they both read the same has solved it. Strange: I thought that a soft link made the devices effectively equivalent. Mount obviously thinks so, umount doesn't.
