I looked in xine's parameters under Settings in Kaffeine.  It was 
looking for the dvd at /dev/dvd.  On a whim, I changed that to /dev/dvd1 
and now it plays the DVDs no problem!  It appears to be a wrong error 
message.  What it should say is "where the heck have you hidden the 
DVD???"  :@)

Thanks to all who helped!  :@D
