attempting to mount dvd gives "cannot optain lock on /media/.hal-mtab"

[MikeyIckey]

I've been able to play dvd's in the past so I'm not sure why this is happening now. But hal mounts the dvd. I see it mounted on /media. But when I try to play it w/ xine it gives a KIOExec error with "Cannot obtain lock on /media/.hal-mtab" Can anyone tell me what might cause this now? Thanks.
