Why don't you just copy the contents of the cd to a folder and share the
folder with samba? why do you want to share the cdrom device( i am not
sure you can anyway)?
As you pointed out the path to the cd is /media/? so why are you trying
to share /media/cdrom(is the cd named cdrom?)?
Either your making things to complicated or I don't understand what you
are doing. Please explain in one syllable terms if possible.
