The symlinks are being made in /dev OK, so udev is working properly.

What should be happening now is that /etc/security/console.perms and the
fstab entry for your cd writer should ensure that the ownership of the
device is set to the currently-logged-in user, and that's not happening
(unless you were logged in as root last time).

What's the fstab entry for your cd writer?

Mine's:
/dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto
pamconsole,exec,noauto,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,managed 0
0
(all one line)
