OK let me explain, I am not issuing any mount commands myself. I place
the DVD in the drive and close it, wait until it appears in the device
notifier and select action Open in File Manager, when it opens having
been mounted by the system at run/media/stuart/DVD_RECORDER the response
from Dolphin is that the permissions wont allow me to open the root
directory of the drive for browsing. If I try to play the video using
Dragon etc again this works OK the permissions it is mounted with do not
stop that action.

This should work. It does work for every other type of DVD Video that I
use so long as it is NOT created on the Panasonic DVD Recorder.

I have had a thread open in Fedora forums at
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=296874 which you can
review to see what has been tried.

I dont expect to have to do any mount commands manually - the system
should handle it for me.
