I realized that. I hope you saw my apology. I do know however why you 
can not use it as a user. You have to mount the disk on the file system 
that belongs to you not the root.

So edit your /etc/fstab file as this

#These are my options
/dev/cd0     /usr/home/Pedja/mnt/cdrom cd9660   rw, noauto      0       0
/dev/acd0    /usr/home/Pedja/mnt/cdrom cd9660   rw, noauto      0       0


and you should be good too go. That was exactly what I meant by saying 
that I do not know if you need HAL.
You do not need HAL but you need to edit your /etc/fstab.

Cheers,
Predrag
