Make sure that there's a symlink from your DVD drive to /dev/dvd and 
that the DVD drive has 666 permissions. Here's an example:

chmod 666 /dev/acd1c
ln -sf /dev/acd1c /dev/dvd

Of course, you have to be root to do this. Also, you might want to put 
this in a startup script if you run 5.1 and reboot often. My device 
links don't persist under devfs.
