Herb....then there's a bad link (being used in both the
desktop icon and /etc/fstab). Probably the link
/dev/cdrom is not pointing to the correct device. The link
needs to be fixed (alternately you can change both the
desktop icon and /etc/fstab to use the correct device rather
than the bad link), then automount will work normally.
You'll need to determine what is the correct device to be
able to fix the problem. After a fix of this kind, the
computer needs to be rebooted for automount to start working
properly with that device.
