It was a copy-paste stupid error of mine.
But the problem seems to be solved once I changed the group of 
/dev/hdb from `disk' into `cdrom':

 $ ls -l /dev/hdc
 brw-rw----  1 root cdrom 22, 0 2005-02-26 07:38 /dev/hdc
 $ ls -l /dev/hdb
 brw-rw----  1 root disk 3, 64 2005-02-26 07:38 /dev/hdb
 # chgrp cdrom /dev/hdb
 # ls -l /dev/hdb
 brw-rw----  1 root cdrom 3, 64 2005-02-26 07:38 /dev/hdb
 
. Thanks, bye,
Rodolfo
