So, it turns out that was apt was looking in varying places for the CD mount point. Sometimes it was looking in /media/apt, and sometimes it was looking in /media/cdrom . If the CD wasn't mounted when I did the apt-get, it would get mounted on /media/apt.
running apt with
-o Debug::Acquire::cdrom="true"
caused it to tell me where it was looking for the CD-ROM.
I made /media/cdrom be a symlink to /media/apt and the problem went away.
This is probably not the best solution, but I only needed it to work for a day.
