Check if you use ide-scsi emulation. If you do, add the user to the
cdrom group. Also check the permissions on /dev/sg*. Those files are
only read-writable by root, changing ownership to root.cdrom and making
then group-read-writable will maybe help. And _never_ add users to the
disk group, one mistyped dd command can destroy your system.
