Since you successfully burnt from the command line, I would go through 
the checklist in showinfo.
For example:

3b. - For every user who should be able to use k3b and for every CD or DVD
      device add a directory in the users home directory. These directories
      must be owned by the corresponding user. For each such directory add a
      line in /etc/fstab (see remark 2), like:
        /dev/cd0c  /usr/home/XXX/cdrom  cd9660  ro,noauto,nodev,nosuid  0  0
      Furthermore allow user mounts as described in topic 9.22 of the FAQ:

seems you missed this!
Sorry I can't really help you further, I've done all this once and it 
worked ok, but I don't currently have k3b installed on any of my systems 
so I can't give you more specific pointers.
