Without seeing a full ls report of /dev/sr? and/or /mnt it's hard to say.

Just reading what you wrote sounds like /mnt/cdrw is linked to /mnt/cdrom

One of you satements also lists /dev/cdrw, if that is correct, what is 
/dev/cdrw linked to? /dev/sr0? /dev/sr1?  What are permissions on /dev/sr1?  
What does /etc/fstab have to say about /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1?

Try this?
Unmount all cd devices
rm /mnt/cdrom
rm /mnt/cdrw
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mkdir /mnt/cdrw
mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom
mount /dev/sr1 /mnt/cdrw
