allright, it seems the problem *did* end up being a groups issue. I
forgot to mention in my original email that i added my non-privaleged
account to the cdrom group and it also did not work. so what i did was
change the group of /dev/hdc to cdrom (it was root.disks before) and also
the /dev/cdrom link as well for good measure, and all seems to work.
anyway, thanks for your help!
