I've had a similar issue before... not with multi-session disks (never
actually made one before), but sometimes with CDs of windows software I
was trying to run through Wine (Specifically a LOTR game, and a program
called Maple).
The problem with these was that the disks were apparently mastered on a
*nix system, and the permissions of the disk were preserved somehow...
so there was an invalid userID/groupID associated with the disk, and it
wouldn't mount under a regular user session (as far as I could tell, the
disk had mounted, then disappeared).
To verify whether or not you're experiencing the same thing, try opening
a rooted nautilus window (alt+F2 'gksudo nautilus') then see if the
cdrom appears in the menu on the left (or navigate to /media/cdrom* and
check for contents). I don't know why it would do this on a multisession
disk, but you never know...
