I'd still say check permissions as this happened to me once before and was a
permissions problem. Check through permissions for /dev and also check the
/etc/fstab for user permissions to mount etc. This could of course be
something more involved, but let us look at the simple ones first.

permissions on /dev/hdc were root:cdrom, 640. The user was in the cdrom
group, couln even cd into /mnt/cdrom. Mount options were: nosuid,
noexec, user, nodev, noauto.
any of this wrong?
