Turns out that this just happened in 2.6.30 :)
There are mode and dmode parameters that devicekit sets to full
permissions.

There are just too many broken DVDs out there to be The Right One. And
while digging into it I found out that not only home-made, but many
commercial DVDs are broken as well.
I wish the 2.6.30 mode/dmode patch makes it into F11.

The problem is that there was no option for altering the
permissions. In the near furture you will be able to do
-o mode=xxx,dmode=yyy as well.

True, but you need the kernel to understand dmode and mode. Looks like
it's going to be >= 2.6.30 unless it is backported to the Fedora kernels.
