I have also ejected a DVD, inserted another, only to find that FC6 still thinks the original disc is in the machine (volume label is the same and I see the same old files in the nautilus window. I have rebooted, and manually unmounted the disc to resolve this before and have not seen it again for some time so I don't know if it will recur (I don't often watch DVDs) but you could try a 'umount /dev/hdd' or whatever your drive is. You might give it a '-l' (lazy) also as I find this helps a lot in the case of difficult umounts.
