The solution is simple:
1. make sure fam is started by the init.d script and not by inet
2. make sure you edit the fam config file and tell it not to poll
remote filesystems (nfs, smb, whatever)
3. wait X number of seconds after you close Nautilus window on whatever
dvd/cdrom you mounted or logout and log back in... and finally,
4. /etc/init.d/fam restart ; when you want to get rid of the CD and you
can't wait.
