After installing the updates containing the new versions of udev, I ran four tests and determined the problem has been solved. I checked against pressing the button twice, once on the new eject buttons in nautilus and once right clicking on the disk drive and hitting "eject". I would also like to point out I did not have to reboot my machine for this to take effect.
I would like to caution those who haven't installed the updates yet. Backup your /boot/grub/menu.lst file before doing so. For some reason when I installed updates on my laptop it was overwritten and didn't contain any entries. So when the machine came back up, it dropped straight into the grub command prompt.
