Your fstab is wrong.  I don't know if that is the cause of the problem:

 > /dev/hdd        /media/cdrom0  auto   udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
 > /dev/hdc        /media/cdrom1  auto   udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

I don't know right off what "udf" does.  I have:

	defaults,ro,noauto,users,unhide

for my CD-ROM, naturally if it is "rw" you would change "ro" to "rw" (or 
just remove it since "rw" is the default).  So you would have:

/dev/hdd        /media/cdrom0  auto   defaults,noauto,users,unhide  0 0

I don't know if this change would make it work.

Some research indicates that UDF is another CD format so if your Kernel 
  has it and you need it you should probably add that as well.
