This is an update to my previous comment. I downloaded compiz-ccsm (to manage the effects of compiz), enabled Expo plugin (under compiz), and this has, to my complete surprise, fixed my problem. Now DVDs autmount and play without any problems. I have an GeForce Fx5200 video card. Originally I had used the proprietary Nvidia driver for my video card when prompted by the system because I wanted to take advantage of the eye candy compiz has to offer. The default compiz effects for compiz under ubuntu 8.10 include "Desktop Wall", but my DVD won't mount under this plugin. It wasn't until I downloaded the the compiz-ccsm and enabled the "Expo" plugin that DVD automouting started to work. Very strange, but I've had consistent results, so to summarize my situation: automounting DVDs doesn't work if compiz is disabled, but works if compiz is enabled and Expo plugin is used.
