I found a site that told me to do this: [root@localhost travis]# mount /mnt/cdrom -o session=2

Well the error message says that /dev/cdrom is already mounted, which means what it says :)
To unmount it, try first as root
umount /dev/cdrom
When issuing the command, take care that you're none of your shells is in /mnt/cdrom, and that nautilus or konq or whatever does not have anything under /mnt/cdrom open, or you will get a device busy error.
After you unmount /dev/cdrom you can try the line you originally tried.
Tip: you can always check what's mounted and where by running
mount
without parameters.

Ok tried the umount
it worked I managed to unmount the drive but when I remounted it even using the session=2 switch it still only
showed the same list I originally posted.
Grrrrrrr this is realy getting frustrating
I have seen something similar. My FC2 seems to works fine on mounting CDROM and floppy under Gnome interface, but KDE refuses to do so. Under gnome, as soon as I load a CD in tray, an icon pops up in desktop; it also has an "Eject..." command that unmount and ejects CD.
I have not found a way to solve this inconvenience and from now on I have worked solely under Gnome. :|
