Looking at the files you listed I guess /dev/dvd doesn't exist on your system.
You should probably try /dev/dvd1 or /dev/hda...

OK, I Noticed that too. I cannot find where I change, dvd to dvd1 or hda.....
Nothing under settings....
maybe there is a config file I can edit manually?
I cannot find any docs addressing how to change the DVD name/link/selection?
I never had to do anything, other than 'emerge xine' in the past
to use xine (used it for years) so HAL, dbus or kde4 must have changed
it in a upgrade over the last few months.....

I've also never tried that, but on my system there's ~/.xine/config which I
would try to edit (there's a "media.dvd.device" line in it which looks like
the right thing to change accordingly...).

There is an automatically generated file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd-rules.
If you have that file you might try deleting or moving it so the system will re-
generate it during the next reboot.

OK, I tried this and it did not solve the problem.
In fact, it made no difference.
