Can you mount it as normal user in the command line? I had to put user in 
the operator group then setup in the devfs.conf:

own	acd0	root:operator
perm	acd0	0666

As for 4.x will need to do 'chgrp operator /dev/acd0c' and chmod it to 
0666.. You can find more info in the 
/usr/share/doc/${YOUR_LANG}/books/faq/disks.html..
