Well as your email stated and tried by me does work.  I'm using SuSE 7.3 Pro. 
 the only change that I needed to make was to replace "/mnt/cdrom" with 
"/media/cdrom" the only thing I found odd was both scd0 and scd1 use 
/media/cdrom.  I was under the understanding that the scd1 (the cdrw) would 
be /media/cdrecorder or something like that.

So where do we go from here?
