Thanks Marcus, however all looks good according to what the faq suggests 
(i.e devices and permissions).

In the meantime I had logged in as root and tried nautilus cd burner 
again, and it worked fine - confirming permissions as the issue.

I enabled nautilus-cd-burner debug and tried yet again logged in as my 
standard user instead of root...and the cd burned fine!... good grief, 
not sure what has "fixed" it - as I have changed no permissions or group 
settings for the user. I guess if it happens again I'll get more info 
given debug is enabled...

Any ideas? be nice to understand what happened...

Mark
