Well, even though it works of course you really have another underlying
problem.

You should not have to "setfacl" and as I think you've found that
command has to be repeated after a reboot.  Also, you'd really want to
do it to the actual device file....

With no users logged into the system one would see something along these
lines....

[egreshko at f16-2 dev]$ getfacl sr0
# file: sr0
# owner: root
# group: cdrom
user::rw-
user:gdm:rw-
group::rw-
mask::rw-
other::---

Then, after login it will change....

[egreshko at f16-2 dev]$ getfacl sr0
# file: sr0
# owner: root
# group: cdrom
user::rw-
user:egreshko:rw-
group::rw-
mask::rw-
other::---

It is late, and I've forgotten what is responsible for making these
changes.  It seems whatever that is, isn't working correctly on your system.
