If so, is it a symlink to /dev/acd1? I suspect not. From the xmcd manpage: -dev device Specifies the path name to the raw CD-ROM device. If this option is not used, the default device to be used is the first drive set up with the xmcd configuration program (See below). So, either run it as ``xmcd -dev /dev/acd1'' or, preferably, run the config program to tell xmcd which CD device to use (see the section DEVICE CONFIGURATION in the manpage).
