I had a similar experience recently: Months ago, Local Device Access (LDA) was working
fine for me. A few months elapsed in which LDA was not used by anyone. Then I went to
use it to access some CDROMs and got the same behavior you describe: the icons appear,
but when clicked on, they're empty. I 'fixed' the problem by putting all the user IDs
into the fuse group. This is a small installation, so it's not a problem. Eric made
some changes to the LDA code such that putting users into the fuse group isn't necessary
(at the expense of a slightly lower security threshold). I keep this box updated, so my
guess is that something along the way broke that modification. I didn't have time to
delve into what actually broke. Try putting a user into the fuse group and see if it
makes a difference.
