I am having the same problem. I just upgraded today from 8.04 LTS Hardy Heron Server (2.6.27-7-server). When using any of the ejection methods (Clicking on the new eject arrows in nautilus, or right click on the disk and selecting "eject") the tray comes out, and about the time I get my hand to the tray it goes back in. I did not have this problem with 8.04

Here is the output of apt-cache show nautlius

Doesn´t look like there are any errors causing this. Though I could be wrong...

CD eject problems

After ejecting a CD tray containing a disc, the tray will be immediately retracted, making it difficult to remove the disc (bug 283316). This can be worked around by pressing the eject button again before the disc is fully mounted, after which it will stay open. We expect to fix this in a post-release update.

Thanks, at least I know I'm not the only one with this problem. That works with hitting the eject button on the cd player twice.
