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).
