Are you trying to eject the "drive" or a "cd/dvd" in the drive? "/proc/acpi/ibm/bay" is not really a device in the normal sense. Look in /etc/fstab for the device name (assuming a cd/dvd). It should look something like /dev/hdc with a mount point of /media/cdrecorder or similar. If it is the actual physical drive you want to eject, that is not possible with software. You need to look at the computers users guide for how to replace a drive.
