Yes. I can play back DVDs just fine using mplayer or xine.

Two other possibilities:

1. Bad media. Thor pointed out that mtd.log doesn't have any entries about
a DVD actually being inserted. I'm using some el cheapo DVD-R discs from
Fry's and maybe the drive is not seeing them.

2. Permissions. mtd, cdrecord, and arson were all 755. I've chmod'ed them
all to 4755 (setuid) but that hasn't helped with this problem. At least I
can run arson as a normal user now, not root.
