I've also been told that this could very well be a known bug related to
the kernel you are using... have you tried updating your kernel?

Ok, at least maingroup-dvd isn't showing up anymore... so we know we
can get rid of it when things go wrong.
I don't have an idea why the lvcreate is failing... You could try to
interface with device-mapper directly and see what happens. To do
that type:
echo "0 31457280 linear 8:11 31457664" | dmsetup create maingroup-dvd
That should create the device /dev/mapper/maingroup-dvd; and it should
be useable. (Make sure that 8:11 is the same device that
maingroup-gen--website is on.) If that works, then the problem is in
LVM, if it doesn't, we know it is in device-mapper.
Another simple thing to try is bumping up the verbosity; e.g.
'lvcreate -vvvv -L 15G -n dvd maingroup'. This will give alot of
output, so you may wish to redirect it to a file. Having everything
printed can often give great clues as to the problem.

Thanks for your continued help. It's still not working, though. I
ran 'dmsetup remove maingroup-dvd' and 'lvremove maingroup/dvd' and
rebooted. It looks like it worked:

But lvcreate still fails:

device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument

(note that I have made the suggested change to /etc/lvm/lvm.conf and
am still getting those /dev/cdrom errors)
