Working example please. Especially for the eject call.

According to the dbus-send man page, the following should work.
But it simply does nothing, even if the CD is no longer mounted.
dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume 
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_K3b_data_CD 
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Eject
