This is a bug. There are several ways to workaround it:

The first is set "plugdev" group to removable disks instead of "disk": http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4195064.html?sid=813dffeae093c39fde2ad38c21d4af12#4195064

The second is to patch /usr/bin/kdeeject to be able to eject items via HAL command (see attached file and link) http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=144017&action=view

The third is to add users that were in "plugdev" group to "disk" group also, so they still have rights to eject removable devices
