Often times the permissions on /dev/cdrom are irrelevant. You will notice that /dev/cdrom is a link (on my box it is linked to /dev/hdd), you must also repair the permissions on this (just this weekend I had this problem, for some reason an obscure user owned /dev/hdd, after giving it back to root and fixing the permissions, all was well).
