wine users - Feb 2011 - Permissions Error when Installing from Multiple CDs (CIV IV)

Hey all,
   I'm trying to install CIV IV on Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit....), running wine
1.2.2 (which is part of the repositories). I put the first CD in, open it up and
run setup.exe and everything seems to be fine. Then, when the program asks me to
insert the second CD, I get a permissions error. Wine is looking for the CD at


Code:
Z:\media\CIV4DISC2



which exists when I try to browse for it. I can also see this CIV4DISC2 on my
desktop. But when I click OK, I get the following message

"Setup could not find a file on the specified path or disk. Please check
that the proper disk is inserted or specify a new path"

The disk is fine, I installed it on Windows the other day. Any ideas how to fix
this? It hasen't come up since the new Ubuntu b/c I've only installed
WoW, which has just one DVD :-)

Open a second terminal window, type in wine eject Z:\media  and then 
manually eject the disk.  The next disk should get recognized.

Ok so thanks for your reply, but that didn't quite work. I tried your exact
command and got


Code:
$ wine eject Z:\media
Usage: eject [-u] [-a] [-h] [x:]...
    -a  Eject all the CD drives we find
    -h  Display this help message
    -u  Unmount only, don't eject the CD
    x:  Eject drive x:



So then I just did 
Code:
wine eject -a

 and that seemed to run ok. Then I manually ejected the disk, put the second
disk in but it was not recognized in the same way.

So I found a workaround, basically copying the disks to my HD and installing
from there. Things installed correctly but now when I start the game (with the
CD in the drive and Ubuntu seeing it as far I can tell...) I get the famous
"cannot find the CD-ROM, please make sure you have the right disk
inserted". This is now AFTER the installation. Is there some global
permissions problem with CD drive that I can work on?
