Well, that's probably not the reason, but anyway.

It should exist even if there is a movie inside. Even more, with no disk
inside there should be a device node.

It works different.
If you use gnome or kde, it works. I mean, both environment handle
automount themselves, somehow. This means that you should _not_ have any
line in the /etc/fstab refering the dvd drive.
If you don't use either gnome or kde, then the drives will simply not
mount, unless you modify things.
You may use traditional manual mount, adding the clasic line to the fstab.
Do not use subfs. Mind! The autorepair dvd of 10.1 thinks the /etc/fstab
file is wrong and adds a subfs line for the dvd there - a bug, IMHO, which
I don't know if 10.2 has solved or not.
Only if you want automatic mounting and you do not use either KDE or
Gnome, then install and configure ivman.
However, in all cases, you should have the corresponding device /dev/hdc
or whatever, if there is a drive - regardless of it status, I think. If
there isn't, that's what you have to solve first.
