Did you check /cdrom and made sure that the CD was mounted properly? The CD drivers all lock the eject button to keep you from ejecting the CD without the system knowing and causing a panic. When you unmount the device (with umount) the eject button will work. Try removing the -r option, it's implied on CD devices.
