try to do it as root. If as root it works, revise the groups that is owning your user (disk, optical, wheel...)

It seems that the disc is malformed. You have a windows partition or anything else to test the cd?

I assume you are using HAL, have you commented out the /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd sections in fstab (you should) also, do dvds work?
