Hmm, dvd::rip checks directory permission with this expression:

  -d $dir && -w $dir

which looks Ok to me ;) To be sure it's no dvd::rip bug elsewhere, what
does this command print?

  perl -e 'my $dir="/opt/Multimedia/Filme/dvdrip/"; -d $dir && -w $dir && print 
"writable\n"'

If this prints "writable" on a read only filesystem, we obviously hit a
bug either in Perl or in JFS. If not, I have to dig deeper into 
dvd::rip...
