If you are accessing ATAPI device using the SCSI subsystem make sure the 
user has all the required permissions to read/write xpt* pass* cd*.
Run "camcontrol devlist" as a normal user and see if it shows you any 
drive  (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/creating-cds.html 
Section 18.6.9).

If this matters somehow I get many of the following messages

(cd0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): READ(10). CDB: 28 0 0 2 99 77 0 0 1 0

when an audio cd is pre-loaded at bootup into my external dvd rewriter. 
But the drive is functional (or at least seems to be... :-D).
