Then it seems that your immediate problem, installing another rpm from
that DVD, is solved - use the command line.

I am a firm believer in command line usage, so I'm really not at all
clear on what the importance of being able to access the DVD via
Nautilus is.  Yes, it's an annoyance if you can't get at files that
way, but this is Linux - there are many ways to skin the cat, and you
have one that is arguably the best one available.

That said, if you can access the disk from the command line, then this
is almost certainly not an OS problem but more likely a GNOME problem.
 Have you tried asking on the GNOME list?

HTH.
