[CS-FSLUG] I installed a DVD/CD burner, but...

[davidm at hisfeet.net]

Well actualy I had one installed, and then installed another so as to have
two. All the programs seemingly could find them both, and when I inserted
a disk in either one, it would appear on the desktop.
 Then I removed the first one that I had. The newer one works fine with
all the programs, and with LinuxMint13 Maya Mate 32bit (at least in GUI
mode).

Then I tried to set up a short script to eject with the Command "eject -T"
It doesn't work. I installed hwinfo and ran it, and got the following:

from terminal, this worked ONCE,
eject -T /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:08.1-scsi-0:0:0:0
 AS DID THE SIMPLE WORD "eject".  But then neither would work again.  I
can't see that it is listed in/dev  and I tried entering it in fstab
(with a folder at /mnt/cdrom), but all that did was cause it to hang on
boot with an error message until I press "s" to "skip" it.  In fact it
seems inaccessible to Linux at the terminal level.

k3b finds it.  Banshee,VLC, MoviePlayer, Audacity, etc. all seem to find
it without a problem. Why can't CLI find it? And what can I do about it?
