I could use that answer too. Same thing happened to me last night - trying to access my cdrom as a user, it told me I didn't have access rights. As root, I would simply get an input/output error message. I could mount and unmount cdrom but not access it (It was a supermount drive). I ended up editing fstab, changing the cdrom line from supermount to user mountable like the old kde-1.1.2 way. Later, damn thing, I changed it again to be supermount and it works again. Now I get to wait until the next time it randomly decides I have no access rights to it. I selected security level 3 during install so I would rather doubt it is some security lock-down thing... Is supermount broken in some way? I have had similar problems with a supermount zip drive. Don't know about the floppy since I rarely use it anyway.
