well... fstab looks like this:
/dev/hdd                /media/cdrecorder       auto 
pamconsole,exec,noauto,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,managed 0 0
/dev/hdc                /media/cdrom            auto 
pamconsole,exec,noauto,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,managed 0 0

mounting manually as root user returns this:
[root at ws1 mdw1982]# mount /dev/hdd
mount: block device /dev/hdd is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd,
        or too many mounted file systems

what bugs me most is that it "had" been working correctly as a normal 
user when media was inserted into either device. Problem is I don't know 
which update broke the darn thing.
