   Have you tried manually mounting the DVDs ?   
      
   I know at least for me when I was using KDE and Dolphin, some of that   
   stuff was automated / "Just Worked" .. but perhaps that has been broken?   
      
   Is your use a part of the group allowed access to the DVD drive (i.e. not   
   as root) ?   
      
   That's all I can think of for now..
