Here's what just a second ago fixed it for me:

Run as root:

cdparanoia -vsQ

This will show you the device settings, something like:

# cdparanoia -vsQ
cdparanoia III release 9.8 (March 23, 2001)
(C) 2001 Monty <monty@xiph.org> and Xiphophorus

Checking /dev/cdrom for cdrom...
        Testing /dev/cdrom for cooked ioctl() interface
                /dev/scd0 is not a cooked ioctl CDROM.
        Testing /dev/cdrom for SCSI interface
                generic device: /dev/sg3
                ioctl device: /dev/scd0

Now make sure you have permissions set correctly on all devices shown. 
It turns out that device numbes are a little unintuitive ;-)
