 How can you track down what process has locked the CD Rom 
drive, when you have nothing opened showing its contents, nor a VT cd'ed 
to it?!?!

    
What I would use is the fuser command in /sbin.  More info can be found
by using man fuser or info fuser. The idea is this for a cdrom drive.

fuser -m /media/$MY_CD_ROM

This will list all associated PID that are accessing the file or file
system.

then an fuser -k -m /media/CDROM

will kill all the processes accessing the drive
Excellent!! Thanks for that info. I was looking for that for so much time!
