Check if your drive really supports DVD-R (allthoug it obviously
should) by running this command:

	# cdrecord -scanbus
	# cdrecord dev=1,0,0 -inq
	# cdrecord dev=1,0,0 -prcap

The cdrecord program is part of the cdrtools port / package.

Check if the growisofs command alone produces the same error
messages (just to make sure it's not a K3B problem):

	# growisofs -Z /dev/cd0 -r -J <some files here>

Check permissions for the cd and pass devices.
