my cdrecord, for which i chose to use burning as group as before is
installed as root:root here, i just changed the group of it to burning
to allow k3b to execute cdrecord, looking at the k3b debug info it was
obvious it was permissions related since i couldn't "find" it.

but not until we set chmod u+s /usr/bin/cdrecord does k3b start w/o
complaining about missing root priviliges and start burning

so all groups aside, chmod u+s /usr/bin/cdrecord should let you burn

oddly enough i feel i have been down this road before and was told i am
wrong.....
so i imply no warranties
