It might be that /dev/hdc is not you cdrom drive. Try doing one of the
following and see if it works:

eject /dev/hda
eject /dev/hdb
eject /dev/hdd
eject /dev/sda
eject /dev/sdb
etc.

One of those should work. Also issue the command `df` and see if the
cdrom is mounted already. If it is already mounted, you'll have to umount
it first.
