OK folks, after writing a bug report (after searching bugzilla and not finding exactly the same problem), I got a message back from the team saying that it was the same as bug #222561 which had an update issued on 17 Jan 07. That is the one that fixed Russ's problem and should have fixed mine, but because I had the wrong repository in my update manager, it didn't get fixed.
I added the repositories that were listed in a couple of previous posts and, after the updates, everything started working. It seems that the coding was a bit too finicky when it came to some dual mode (cd + dvd) drives and their firmware, such as the one that I have. Whatever, it is fixed now and I thanked the team very much for their prompt response and I want to pass along a great big thank you to everyone on this list who tried to help.
