In this list, the CDRW is getting mounted as cdrecorder (from K3B) and then is 
listed to be mounted by none if a disk is put into it to be read. I bet that 
causes an error "already mounted", so the drive can't be read.

Now, cdrom2 seems to be fine.

You also have soupermount running, and links from the desktop for CD drives 
will be auto mounted, and thus not allowed to be mounted from the "CD/DVD ROM 
Device" file, try the link called "Link to Location (URL)", and give it the 
CD icon. That's what I do to not interfere with supermount.

I hope this helps.
