In mine, under /dev/cdroms I have cdrom0 and cdrom1, both of which are 
links.  cdrom0, for instance points to 
../ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd.  It is my cd/dvd, which is not 
scsi-emulated, so is mounted as /mnt/cdrom from hdb in fstab 
(unusual, but that's another story).  cdrom1 points to 
../scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/cd.  This is my cd-rw, which is 
scsi-emulated.

I would expect your actual scsi drive to be scd0, and the cd-rw to be 
scd1.  Does that explain it any better?  My fstab lines are

none /mnt/cdrom supermount 
dev=/dev/hdb,fs=auto,ro,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850 0 0
none /mnt/cdrw supermount 
dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850 0 0

hdb and scd0 are block devices under /dev, not subdirectories.
