Had similar problem with my cdrom drive. Found the reason and solution to my problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1025786
Solved my problem by removing the the udf from my /etc/fstab where my cdrom was mounted from: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 to /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 then remount your cdrom (e.g. mount /media/cdrom0) Lucid is mounting with udf option in fstab. Mounting the filesystem as iso9660 doesn't observe file permissions. Mounting as UDF does. Unfortunately, many disk burning applications leave -1 in the uid and gid permissions of their udf filesystems. This causes a permission problem in Linux. The only way to read CD's as a user is by mounting UDF filesystems on cdrom as iso9660.
