I had a similar problem and I was able to resolve it by adding my "mythtv"
user to the sudoers list and allowing the mythtv user to use the command
eject. I also made an eject script so that I could easily map it to my
remote using irexec. The following is the line that I use in my /etc/sudoers
file to allow access to eject.

mythtv,%mythtv  ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/eject,/sbin/mount /cdrom,/sbin/umount
/cdrom

And the eject script that I use is super simple
eject.sh:

#!/bin/sh
sudo /usr/bin/eject /dev/dvd-sr0

I do not call my optical drives out in my fstab either. I hope that this
helps.
