might sound silly, but you have tried the key in the boot? other way would be to remove the plastic liner from the inside of the tailgate - youll have to dop the back seats to get to it and manually pull the rod that connects to the release machanism, i suspect this has come disconnected from the lock/motor mechanism, there is usaulyl a plastic clip whach stops this happeneing, this may have broke off - hence the problem.
