ok, I've done this:

1) I added a MODE="0660" to each line in  
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules

2) rebooted, checked perms of /dev/sr0 and I now have rw for all

3) tried to play a dvd via kaffiene - same error:
The source can't be read

Maybe you don't have enought rights for this, or source doesn't 
contain data (e.g: no disc in drive). (Error reading from DVD)


4) I tried multiple DVD's - same error, also tried the same DVD's in another 
laptop running Fedora 10 x86_64 - works fine

5) checked dmesg output and I see this:
