While the original questioner expressed disdain about the need to
understand UDF for his application, it may be relevant to you. Ejecting
a packet disc is not the equivalent of ejecting a conventional CD-ROM.
Depending on the format, the process may begin with organizing and
writing data from RAM and may include intercepting the command for the
opportunity to finalize the disc or the session.

The shell command may do the job, depending on the way that commands to
the drive are intercepted by the UDF modifications to the filesystem.
