I don't know about HAL, but those messages are from mount (probably called from hald). It usually means wrong fs type (what is in fstab for /dev/hdd and what is the filesystem on the CD? if you put 'auto' in fstab it usually works for both iso and udf filesystems), that the CD is blank, or that it is otherwise corrupted.
Have you tried mounting /dev/hdd manually?
well... fstab looks like this:
/dev/hdd /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,managed 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,managed 0 0
mounting manually as root user returns this: [root@ws1 mdw1982]# mount /dev/hdd mount: block device /dev/hdd is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd, or too many mounted file systems
what bugs me most is that it "had" been working correctly as a normal user when media was inserted into either device. Problem is I don't know which update broke the darn thing.
