So, it turns out that was apt was looking in varying places for the CD mount 
point.  Sometimes it was looking in /media/apt, and sometimes it was looking in 
/media/cdrom .  If the CD wasn't mounted when I did the apt-get, it would get 
mounted on /media/apt.

running apt with
   -o Debug::Acquire::cdrom="true"
caused it to tell me where it was looking for the CD-ROM.

I made /media/cdrom be a symlink to /media/apt and the problem went away.

This is probably not the best solution, but I only needed it to work for a day.
