Well the error message says that /dev/cdrom is already mounted, which
means what it says :)
To unmount it, try first as root
umount /dev/cdrom
When issuing the command, take care that you're none of your shells is
in /mnt/cdrom, and that nautilus or konq or whatever does not have
anything under /mnt/cdrom open, or you will get a device busy error.
After you unmount /dev/cdrom you can try the line you originally tried.
Tip: you can always check what's mounted and where by running
mount
without parameters.
