Lindsey, I have an Uberstudent installation (modified Xubuntu raring) the same fault has occurred for me after ripping some dvds.
# sudo eject -i off
as first given above by Marco Scannadenari works for me. Then both pressing the manual eject button or typing eject work. It is at least a fast work-around. Quite why it is happening I don't know.
