Craig,

lshal is a handy utility.

I took the liberty to monitor the devices when I put in a CD and this is
what I received.  This still did not result in an automatic mounting of
the drive.

[root at Co09 tmp]# lshal -m

Start monitoring devicelist:
-------------------------------------------------
10:28:07.090: storage_model_CD_224E property storage.removable.media_available = false
10:28:07.231: storage_model_CD_224E property storage.cdrom.write_speeds = {}
10:28:07.245: volume_label_EcCare_Health_Ce removed
10:28:23.019: storage_model_CD_224E property storage.removable.media_available = true
10:28:23.036: storage_model_CD_224E property storage.cdrom.write_speeds = {}
10:28:24.744: volume_label_EcCare_Health_Ce added

Craig,

Not sure if this helps, but I have continued to make some observations
with lshal -m and have found that the files below are not being created
in the /media directory when a CD is inserted; also, obviously a mounted
directory is also not created in the /media directory.  The files below
were created on a different machine as I inserted the same cd and
monitored the output of lshal -m
