48 Glad you solved it!

50 My permissions are:
51
52 $ ls -la /usr/bin/cdrecord
53 -rws--x--x 1 root root 314352 Jul 22 16:51 /usr/bin/cdrecord
54
55 $ ls -la /usr/bin/cdrdao
56 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 569352 Jul 22 16:55 /usr/bin/cdrdao
57
58 and I had to add my user to the cdrom group, but both of the above binaries
59 are not in the cdrom group.
