What do you have in your /etc/fstab? Mine:

$ cat /etc/fstab
<snip>
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0
/dev/scd1 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0


$ ls -l /dev/scd* /dev/dvd*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-06-03 08:09 /dev/dvd -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-06-03 08:09 /dev/dvdrw -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-06-03 01:09 /dev/scd0 -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-06-03 01:09 /dev/scd1 -> sr1
