Only if cdrdao is suid root, it can set itself to realtime priority during 
burning, which is a feature. This used to be more important back when the 
machines were slower and buffer underruns meant burning coasters. You can 
turn off the permissions check (and all other similar checks) with k3b's 
options, Misc tab, Check system configuration checkbox.

And you're sure you used the Tools/CD/Burn CD Image menu to do that?
