I have tried burning as both normal user and root with no difference, which would seem to indicate that it is not a permissions error. At first I was thinking that it was another SELinux-udev issue but this also seems not to be the case. I'm really doing a lot of head scratching here. I do know that it's not hardware since I can burn by booting to FC2. Thanks for the response and any further input sincerely appreciated.
