The problem is not the permissions on the cdrom device .. but on the mount
command.
# ls -lad /bin/mount
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 35876 May 1 01:26 /bin/mount*
Built into the mount command are some safety checks to make sure normal users
can't use it for 'bad things' ... you have a couple of options :
1. Create a solution using 'sudo'
2. Install Autofs and it will automate all mounting
3. su to root.
