1. You likely did this but just in case, just k3b's perms setup/
2. Check all related perms (dvdrecord, cdr* etc).
3. See if you can complete a burn as root (if you can, it's a perm problem)
4. Also try burning at half the adverted speed.
Because of today's corner cutting standards, disks are not always adverted 
speeds.

Let us know what happens and good luck,
