ls -l /dev/acd0*

Is the minor mode (right before the month) for all "0"? If not, delete
them and use /dev/MAKEDEV to make new ones.

ls -l /dev/acd0*
crw-r-----  4 root     operator 117,   0 Mar  7 15:51 /dev/acd0a
crw-r-----  4 root     operator 117,   0 Mar  7 15:51 /dev/acd0c
                          Minor mode---^

Try to explicitly issue the mount from the root account:
# mount -t cd9660 /dev/acdc0 /cdrom

What (if any) errors do you get? (This is a ISO9660 CD, isn't it?)
