[Karmic] A dvd data disk is NOT mounted automatically AND I can access only files in the top-level directory

[Krzysiek Kwasniewski]

What I expect:
1) I put a dvd disk into a drive.
2) The disk is mounted automatically.
3) I browse files on the disk.
4) I take the disk out of the drive and close the drive.
5) I open the drive.

What happens:
1) I put a dvd disk into a drive.
2) The disk is NOT mounted automatically, I do it on my own.
3) I can access (i. e. read, copy) only files in the top-level directory of the disk. I also can browse all the folders on the disk (not only the top-level ones). While trying to open other files (contained in the subdirectories), I get IO error. To be precise, let's have a short example here:
Let the structure of folders be:
/
- textfile1.txt
- subdirectory1
      - textfile2.txt
      - textfile3.txt
I can view textfile1.txt and I can list the contents of subdirectory1. textfile2.txt and textfile3.txt give IO error.
4) I umount the disk and take it out of the drive; then I close the drive.
5) I can open the drive neither by pushing a button, nor by using the `eject` command.

PS The bug was reported by apport. I would use an appropriate form on this site, but it was not possible - "report a bug" led me to a site with information about how to report a bug. I choose one of "radio buttons" presented to me, that included an information about problems with mounting, but I'm sure it's not a problem with gvfs. Moreover if I could attach all the files to one comment, I would not post 4 of them.

Here you will find output of `eject -v`. I have similar problems with cd disks, although I can access all the files on them.

After last updates dvd disks are mounted automatically, however I still cannot read any data from them.
