A few people already told you, the symbolic links were the problem.

A further suggestion: Why not use the automounter, This is probably what
you want, if users should be able to access the CD. Install amd and
put the following line in /etc/amd/amd.master

-r -c 20 -w 20 -a /amd /m /etc/amd/removable

and the following in /etc/amd/removable
----------- snip ---------------
cdrom   type:=program;\
        opts:=soft,utimeout=10;\
        fs:=/cdrom;\
        mount:="/bin/mount mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/scd0 /cdrom";\
        unmount:="/bin/umount umount /cdrom";
----------- snap ---------------

Somethings similar had already been posted a month ago.
