Is /dev/sr1 your DVD rom drive?  If it is then it seems like you don't have
premission to open it. You'll need both read and write permissions to get
CSS authentication working properly.  Make sure that you own the device
or are a member of it's group.

The later when this is resolved it might be that the ioctls use for CSS
isn't available for the USB device, I don't really know here though.

Try running 'ogle --debug /media/sr1' and or experiment with other
devices and premissions.
