postexec is probably executed correctly, but Windows holds up the connection
for performance reasons (really :-) ) When you reopen a share within a
certain time (I think it's about 5 min) there is no need to reconnect (but
what about resources ... :->). I had the same problem with a ZIP drive, but I
didn't worry about it at that time.
Try eject /cdrom and wait for some time after "closing" the connection. If the
CDROM ejects, there is no problem with the command.
You might grep the output of lsof for /cdrom, extract the PID with awk and
kill that process. You can create a new share with preexec that script (or a
Webserver with CGI support)
