Make sure you are not currently in the cd. By that I mean, for example a "normal" RedHat install, somewhere in /mnt/cdrom/.
You can always just issue "cd" and it will return you to your home directory. Then "eject". I believe by default this will eject /dev/cdrom (including umounting if needed). You only need options to eject if it isn't. If for example you have more than one CDROM drive.
