Gets the movie running in VLC.
Well, even though it works of course you really have another underlying
problem.
You should not have to "setfacl" and as I think you've found that
command has to be repeated after a reboot. Also, you'd really want to
do it to the actual device file....
With no users logged into the system one would see something along these
lines....
[egreshko@f16-2 dev]$ getfacl sr0
# file: sr0
# owner: root
# group: cdrom
user::rw-
user:gdm:rw-
group::rw-
mask::rw-
other::---
Then, after login it will change....
[egreshko@f16-2 dev]$ getfacl sr0
# file: sr0
# owner: root
# group: cdrom
user::rw-
user:egreshko:rw-
group::rw-
mask::rw-
other::---
It is late, and I've forgotten what is responsible for making these
changes. It seems whatever that is, isn't working correctly on your system.
Yes, I am aware of this as a result of lot of effort Michael
Schwendt put forth on the problem I was having with two USB
scanners on both of my F16/64 computers. Much of it is a bit
beyond me but he provided the following:
"Yeah, systemd seat/session management is new, and
ConsoleKit will be removed in F-17. When using startx, you
will notice that your session is not listed as active", and
hence systemd-uaccess doesn't change the device node acls
when you're in XFCE. There are a couple of open bug reports,
not limited to these:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=684158
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=769649 Further

So it looks to me like I am stuck with what I have until Fedora
17 comes along. In the mean time none of these are fatal
problems, they concern functions I don't use often, I just need
a scheme for getting them to work when need be or face ridicule
from the rest of the family with their Apple junk! I have them
convinced that my stuff always works and is usually easier to
use [for me anyway].
And I learn from all of this, keep extensive notes. Will I be
able to apply what I learn? Good question, I usually muddle
through eventually.
