sr0 is the driver

Normal message for a usb attached cdrom with no disk in the drive.  It
sees the drive but can't access the disk.

Everything up to this point seems normal

You are trying to mount /dev/sr0 (the driver).  In the message about the
mount point above it says the device is /dev/scd0. Thus it cannot be
mounted with your command.  

Since the fstab entry has been made, if you have need to manually mount
it the command (as root) would be "mount /media/cdrecorder2". The rest
of the data is taken from the fstab entry.  Media device by default will
automount when a disk is available.  

Did you even look at /media/cdrecorder2 to see if the content was
already mounted?  Mine shows an icon on the desktop when I attach a
media device (cdrom, camera, flash disk, etc.) and it auto-mounts.

Also, you need to have a disk in the drive with a recognized filesystem
to do the mount. Verify that is the case.

A friend had a Sony camera that used a cdrom for the pictures.  The
pictures were not actually in a filesystem until he told the camera to
close the session and thus could not be read directly on another cdrom
drive.  I never tried to connect it to my linux machine so I don't know
if it would have been mountable while in the camera or not.
