Hi Jason.

I didn't tried that, but it should work. Change your fstab like this:

/dev/scd0         /media/cdrom      auto       ro,noauto,user,exec   0 0
/dev/scd0         /media/isocd        iso9660       ro,noauto,user,exec   0 0
/dev/scd0         /media/udfcd        udf           ro,noauto,user,exec   0 0

With mount /media/isocd or mount /media/udfcd even a user should
be able to mount the cd. If you have a data cd (single or multisession)
still use mount /media/cdrom.

Tell us if you get that running.
