Did you run kudzu (hardware detection) after the second DVD drive was
installed?

I have similar situation as you, one CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive
and a DVD+-R/RW drive and everything works fine.

Here are the entries in my /etc/fstab about the drives:

/dev/hdd  /media/cdrecorder  auto  pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/hdc  /media/cdrecorder1 auto  pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
