and make sure your user has access to /dev/dvd or /dev/cdrom

- under 4.x you can just link /dev/dvd to the real /dev/acd.. and then 
chmod /dev/cdrom so the user can access it
- under 5.x , because of devfs you won't be able to do the same so an 
easy way to do it is to have your user in the operator group

/etc/sysctl.conf
vfs.usermount=1

//dev/devfs.conf
link acd0 dvd       # that will create /dev/dvd
/perm acd0 0660/
/

/etc/group,
wheel:*:0:root,USERNAME
operator:*:5:root,USERNAME


the your user can mount  and also /dev/dvd
