I had that problem - When you mount a disc by click on its desktop icon 
it is mounted in such a way as to not have any scripts or programs 
running from it.

The work around I did was to close any windows that are open on the cd - 
open a terminal and type the following:

sudo umount /media/cdrom
sudo mount /dev/hdc -t iso9660 /media/cdrom

Using your mountpoints and devices of course ;)
