I think the point here is that the user mounting/umounting needs to be a 
member of the group that owns the device file.  

 I don't know the arguments for and against that group being cdrom or disk. 
On my machine, disk group owns "ram" and "loop" and cdrom group owns hdc which 
is the cdrom device (on my machine), and owns scd0 which is my cd writer.

all the best,
