Maybe in "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules" there is a wrong 
entry. In that file I had these entries for my cd/dvd drive (abbreviated 
for readability here):

ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ..... SYMLINK+="cdrom3", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ..... SYMLINK+="cdrw3", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ..... SYMLINK+="dvd3", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ..... SYMLINK+="dvdrw3", ENV{GENERATED}="1"

With these entries the cdrom was registered as /dev/cdrom3, /dev/cdrw3, 
etc. while the applications expected /dev/cdrom, /dev/cdrw, etc. which 
were not available. You can delete all those lines and they will be 
written again after your next reboot with the correct names. To edit 
the file you could use the command

kdesudo kate /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules

in a terminal or from the run dialog (Alt-F2).
