My external USB dual layer DVD burner and also my USB enclosure "internal dual 
layer DVD burner" is recognised in Debian Etch and Lenny on my machines by 
totem and k3b by this entry in my /etc/fstab

/dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0

Nothing else was required, though I placed this in /etc/fstab manually. I 
think it might also have required a hard reboot, but that might have been 
something else?

Hope that helps.
Charlie
