Copying CDs with graveman

I've been playing around with graveman on my Hoary system. I started off
with only a single CD-ROM drive and decided to add a second drive so
that I could easily copy CDs. I especially want to copy audio CDs.

The second drive is /dev/hdb and is a 52x Samsung CD-ROM drive, dated
2001!

My writeable drive is a Sony DVD+RW new drive on /dev/hda.

graveman detectd these drives correctly, however, when I ask it to copy
a CD from hdb to hda, it asks me to load a CD in the Samsung drive. I
load the CD and, if it's audio, it starts playing, but graveman never
detects that the CD has ben loaded. Similarly for data CDs.

If I set the source drive to be the Sony on hda, then graveman does
detect the loading of CDs into that drive. graveman then gives an error
when it attempts to read the audio CD, but that's another problem.

So has anyone done this successfully with a similar combination of
drives? Do I need a newer CD-ROM drive on hdb? Any ideas?

TIA

Tony.
