Correct.  That might in fact confuse xine.

Do you get both of these errors each time, or are they from different attempts?
Do you have something set up to try to automount CDs?  From an earlier
message, it seems that you have the softlinks and permissions set up properly,
so presumably that's not the problem.

Have you tried softlinking /dev/dvd to /dev/cdrom rather than
/dev/hdd?  There might
be an emulation layer between the raw IDE device and what xine wants
to see.  For
example, on my machine at work (RedHat, so I don't know how it differs) I have
/dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0
and the ide-scsi module installed.
