I'm not sure which "two" you mean are the same.  The dvd and cdrom links are
to your _players_, the *rw links are to your _recorders_ - and of course
for most people they're all the same physical device.  But the device names
ending in "1" are _not_ the same as the others - one has an IDE path and
the other has a SCSI path.  I'll give you the same advice as phoenix -
rename your 70-persistent-cd.rules to something not ending in .rules,
reboot, and see if it's generated a new, correct, one.  If not, just rename
the old one back.
