you know, I still don't understand why it is doing this. I run 'mount'
before I insert the cd and after but nothing new is mounted. I figured it
out part-way! If a blank cd is put in the drive I get the '... already
mounted' notification but if a cd with data is put in it mounts. that is
stupid because if you are burning a disk you get the notification.
