I guess it is a permission problem of some sort but I can't figure out the source of it. I have a redhat installation in which the cdrom works for users and I compared the permissions on /dev/cdrom and /mnt/cdrom and they are identical. My fstab entries are also identical:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0

So what could it be?

Thanks,

add "user" to the options part in fstab for /dev/cdrom

Add user to your entry and see if that works. i.e. noaouto, owner, user, ro ...

Great! That did the trick. Thanks for the help!

Kind of strange that my redhat installation doesn't include user in this line yet I can mount from a nonroot user..
