I'v checked my kernel config and it had the "Options CD9660". Beside the mounting problem as I said the user cannot use the linked device (/dev/dvd) to just watch a DVD (not need for mounting, just access to the device). Can you post the system configuration files that you're using in order to allow your users to mount CD drives ?
