it hasn't actually burnt your cd, incidentally.
It's complaining about /dev/hdc not being a valid device (as far as cdrecord 
is comcerned).
which kernel are you running?
[stuart@behemoth stuart]$ uname -r
2.6.7-1.494.2.2

if it is 2.6.8 _downgrade_ to 2.6.7 or burn as root. noone else is able to 
with that kernel.

what does 
# cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI 
give you?
[stuart@behemoth stuart]$ cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI

it doesn't contain a filesystem. KDE is misreporting the error.
it can't mount it because you haven't actually burnt anything to it yet.
You can mount _other_ CDS, right.

the error stems from the cdrecord command above. ALthough you can use device 
names, I have always had more success with the original cdrecord syntax:
 If this is an IDE/ATAPI device this syntax is
# cdrecord -v dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 -dao driveropts=burnfree speed=52 -eject -data 
thingy.iso
in fact the command you issued can be shortened considerably:
# cdrecord -v dev=ATAPI:0,0,0  -dao thingy.iso
the speed will be determined automatically, as will -data (it's the default)
in fact -dao could be left out too if you wish.

the ATAPI:0,0,0 will depend entirely on the cdrecord -scanbus output

once you know how cdrecord sees your device  you can edit /etc/cdrecord.conf 
to match. One gotcha though, I had issues until I changed the ATA line in 
cdrecord.conf to ATAPI
---cdrecord.conf (edited) :
# The default device, if not specified elswhere
CDR_DEVICE=cdrom
#
# The default speed, if not specified elswhere
#CDR_SPEED=40

# The default FIFO size if, not specified elswhere
CDR_FIFOSIZE=4m
# Unless you have a good reason, use speed == -1 and let
# cdrecord use it's intercal drive specific defaults.
# drive name    device  speed   fifosize driveropts
cdrom=         ATAPI:0,0,0      -1      -1      burnfree
----- end cdrecord.conf
