Unfortunately that was the first place I looked, no /media/sr1.  This is
the strangest thing, konqueror opens a new window with the address being
system:media/sr1 but the highlighted entry being /media/SU1030.001 (the
actual directory on the file system).  If this is just a knoqueror thing
I'm not worried but if it's some new "kernel thing" with udev or
something else then i want to know about it.
