Hi,

I have a similar problem in that k3b cannot find 
my DVD/CD burner.  However I haven't received any 
messages about permissions.

On a hunch I started X as root and k3b was then 
able to find my hardware.  This doesn't really 
solve the problem but it was a quick work-around 
for me until I figure this out.

Note: I too changed permissions to 666 on 
/dev/acd0 and /dev/cd0 to no avail.

Maybe someone with more experience could jump in here?

hth,
