Make sure, also, that the drive isn't mounted such that something is 
putting pressure on it's eject button.  Even if you can't access it, it 
still works...

However, the first thing I would try is turning off all 3rd party extensions in the extension manager and see what happens.  I had a slightly different problem with a new drive and OS 9 in that if there wasn't a disk in the drive the door would open randomly all on its own.  This was cured by using a different driver for the CDR.
