I ensured that my pwd was not on the CD-ROM when I tried to unmount & mount it. Still said 'device busy'

I did an "ls -l" on /media/cdrom & I got back

Positive about the file having two .tar extensions.... just re-checked it.

MOUNT_CD9660(8) 					    BSD System Manager's Manual 					   MOUNT_CD9660(8)

NAME
mount_cd9660 -- mount an ISO-9660 filesystem SYNOPSIS
mount_cd9660 [-egjr] [-o options] [-s startsector] special | node DESCRIPTION
The mount_cd9660 command attaches the ISO-9660 filesystem residing on the device special to the global filesystem namespace at the location indicated by node. This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot time. The options are as follows: -e Enable the use of extended attributes. -g Do not strip version numbers on files. (By default, if there are files with different version numbers on the disk, only the last one will be listed.) In either case, files may be opened without explicitly stating a version number. -j Do not use any Joliet extensions included in the filesystem. -o Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separated string of options. See the mount(8) man page for possible options and their meanings. -r Do not use any Rockridge extensions included in the filesystem. -s startsector Start the filesystem at startsector. Normally, if the underlying device is a CD-ROM drive, mount_cd9660 will try to figure out the last track from the CD-ROM containing data, and start the filesystem there. If the device is not a CD-ROM, or the table of contents cannot be examined, the filesystem will be started at sector 0. This option can be used to override the behaviour. Note that startsector is measured in CD-ROM blocks, with 2048 bytes each. SEE ALSO
mount(2), unmount(2), fstab(5), mount(8) BUGS
POSIX device node mapping is currently not supported. Version numbers are not stripped if Rockridge extensions are in use. In this case, accessing files that don't have Rockridge names without version numbers gets the one with the lowest version number and not the one with the highest. There is no ECMA support. HISTORY
The mount_cd9660 utility first appeared 4.4BSD. 4th Berkeley Distribution March 27, 1994 4th Berkeley Distribution
