And what are the permissions for group "disk"? Did you add yourself to group "disk" now or is that from before? If you did it now, note that it won't take effect until you've logged out. Also see my other post on the merits of belonging to group disk :)
/dev/dvd is universally accessible anyway. So I don't think it's permissions.
/dev/dvd is a symlink. symlinks *always* have permissions lrwxrwxrwx. It doesn't mean anything. Those permissions aren't used, the permissions are checked against those of the file the link points to.
What else should I try?
If it *really* isn't permissions, then I have no clue.
