Are you sure this worked for you with 3.0.1? If it did, then your issue and mine seem to be unrelated. I just downgraded to 3.0.1-1 and once again was not able to run eject as non-root user, even immediately after a reboot.
At least on Monday I tried to copy an audio CD. And this has worked. At least the image could be created. So /dev/sr0 must have been there. And since linux 3.0.2-1 was created on Tuesday it must have been working with linux 3.0.1-1. But I can't downgrade anymore, because I've deleted the package from the cache.
Regarding the eject issue I'm still pretty sure, that this can only be done by root. I have this issue with other USB devices, too.
the last link by Karol makes it fairly clear that `eject` is misbehaving (unmaintained?) ... per Tom: sg_prevent --allow /dev/sr0 ... unlocks the device after which `eject` works properly as user (for next open/close at least) -- C Anthony
