Ah thank you. That fixed everything except that users cannot play CDs. Users can only mount the cdrom drive if it has a data cd in it. Weird huh? When a user attempts to mount a music cd in teh drive you get an error that says "Could not determine the file system type and none was specified." Input/Output error. This does not happen with root. I don't get it and I am waaaaay to sleep y to try right now. Thanks again.
