Changing the region code of DVD-Drive

I could not compile regionset out of the box. I had to
change line 37 in
dvd_udf.c to FreeBSD instead of OpenBSD.

zap...
#if defined(__FreeBSD__)
zap...


The bad thing: regionset is not working; I get following
output:

kingkong# ./regionset
ERROR: Could not open disc "(null)"!
       Please place a DVD in the dvd drive.
Usage regionset /dev/dvd

or:

kingkong# ./regionset /dev/dvd
ERROR: Could not open disc "/dev/dvd"!
       Please place a DVD in the dvd drive.
Usage regionset /dev/dvd


The link /dev/dvd is set to /dev/cd0 and I put a DVD into
the Drive. I
tried it as mounted and also as unmounted. 

Any ideas?
