Only root can issue the mount command - nothing has changed that. You're
wasting your time trying to do that as any other user.

Now that I know you are using KDE...

Right click the task bar, Add widgets and add 'Device Notifier' widget
if you don't have it already. That is what you use to 'mount' a CD

Craig,

Sorry, if I mislead you, I have setup gnome on this machine.  I created
some perl scripts that mount and unmount the cd so It works with some
user control, but not automatically like it should.
