I've seen this with the removable CD ROM drive on my laptop.  If I log 
in as another user, the CD ROM drive is not accessible.  Seems the O/S 
decides on the basis of login time to whom it should give the device. 
If only one user is logged in, they get it.  If two users are logged in, 
the first one sees the drive but the second cannot access it.  I don't 
know if this is the same problem, but you might want to look into it. 
It may  be related to evil windows media player.  Then again, it might 
just be a security 'enhancement'.  Probably there is a way to 
permanently mount the drive so that it can be accessed by all users, but 
I don't know how to do that.
