Well, that could be it, but it could also mean that you are currently using 
the
mounted device. It could be as simple as you are located in that directory 
in a shell,
or you are viewing it in a file manager (Nautilus, Konqueror, MC etc).

What is your exact line for unmounting devices? I guess youve tried many 
variations,
but generally
# umount /mnt/cdrom
is the correct way to do it. A more nasty approach would be
# umount -f /mnt/cdrom
Try that, and see if it helps, then we can work on it from there...
