I can access the CD images if I open a root-user Konqueror. I've added a

Worst case (and I mean worst case) you could try copying the files off the cd as root and then chown'ing them to your own user with a 'chown <username>:<group> <files>'.

How do I actually do that? CLI command????

As Pete said, try running the 'mount' program from the command line. It /should/ give you the filesystem type in the fifth column.

How could that happen? Can someone do that with a Mac????

You can write to a cd using the UDF filesystem. Not as widely used, but it does work. It depends on the cd burning program she used.
