Kevin,

Can you do an 'ls -la /dev/dvd*'?  Is /dev/dvd a symlink, or is it the
actual device node?  Is there a symlink, and if so, what does it point
to?  And, most importantly, what are the permissions of all these
symlinks and real device nodes, right now?

I ran into the same error message, on my machine, because /dev/dvd was a
symlink to /dev/dvd0--so I figure maybe yours could be, too?
