Thanks for your help everybody.
To Amigadave: Yes I did reinstall my OS. After reinstalling, it still does not work. I even tried changing the id from CD0 to CD1. What is really weird is sometimes it does mount fine, I can access the CD, but when I eject then re-insert, it goes on the fritz again. I am beginning to think that kickstart 3.1 ROMS are flaky with the A3000.
I am going to try some of the alternative programs that Matt_H suggested. Thanks
