you're probably missing:
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/libraries/libaacs/

and keydb.cfg (goes in ~/.config/aacs/KEYDB.cfg)
http://fvonline-db.bplaced.net/

afterwards handbrake should see your blu-rays just fine

just as an aside, ripping blu-ray SUCKS .. it's like 1:1 playtime:rip rate. they look great though ;)
