Forgot to mention the users are stored on an LDAP server and if I run it as a local user it works. They are all in the same groups, 
jonas@fry ~ $ id jonas
uid=1000(jonas) gid=100(users) grupper=100(users),18(audio),19(cdrom),1002(plugdev),27(video)

Creating a test users with the groups audio,cdrom,plugdev,video it works.

I also have problem with gnome-volume-manager, it won't mount the drives I put in on my normal user, but it works on local user. I can however use gnome-mount -tvd /dev/sr0 to mount my cdrom, but not through the gui. Guess they share the same basic problem.

Solved it.

Many thanks to MikeS on #gstreamer for help on this annoying thing.

Problem was this: Bug #162355
