Why don't you
$ mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0

See man mount. (That's on etch, but I wouldn't think the order of
arguments and options has changed from etch to lenny. :-)

Are you sure that your dvd is iso9660?

- From man mount:
/--------------------
Mount options for udf
       udf is the "Universal Disk Format" filesystem defined by the
Optical Storage Technology  Association,  and
       is often used for DVD-ROM.  See also iso9660.
\--------------------

Try
$ mount -t udf /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0

HTH,
