make sure that /dev/dvd points to the right device. do a ls -l to see where /dev/dvd is currently pointing to. If it is the wrong device then simply remove /dev/dvd and recreate the symbolic link to the right device. Or the shorter way would be to use /dev/hdX instead of /dev/dvd.
dmesg can also give you a lot of help when determining which device is your dvd drive.
