This doesn't look like the CDs had been added to the file. There ought 
to be entries like

deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 r4 _Potato_ - Official i386 Binary-3 
(20011106)]/ unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US/main

(on one line of course) in there. apt-cdrom adds those lines properly on 
my system, and all I have to do is

apt-cdrom add

with the proper disk in the drive. Try to comment out the entries in the 
sources.list and add the disks again. Make sure you're logged in as 
root ;-)
