I because this happens because executor under linux is probing /dev/cdrom.
Remove temporarily /dev/cdrom (it's only a symlink) and this will go
away. It worked for me. I don't have Mac cdroms anyway so I don't really
mind but some Linux programs try to access /dev/cdrom instead of /dev/sr0
or whatver it is..
