Right. Looks like KDE is calling eject(8) directly. 

Tell me, does

 $ dbus-send --system --print-reply \
             --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal \
             /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/XXX \
             org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Eject \
             array:string:

as an unprivileged (e.g. not root) user work?

Replace /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/XXX with the appropriate UDI for
the device of capability 'volume' that represents the disc. You can
lshal(1) or

 $ hal-find-by-capability --capability volume.disc

to find the UDI.
