Daniel, Thanks for letting me look at your setup. Unfortunately, Mine appears to be quite similar.

Perhaps you will notice something that got past me. Although it's not a "normal" Linux thing, I am considering uninstalling and then reinstalling the cdrecord program. I'm about out of ideas :-( Thanks! Jim -- This is an email sent via the webforum on http://fcp.homelinux.org
