There are two programs what you could use to write CD's, DVD's - one is the deprecated: and well hated bogus wodim (what is an debian zombie fork of an old-timer cdrtools), and the another is libburnia. If you look around, between the gnome/kde programs mostly they are looking for wodim - but couldn't tell you why. But sometimes they are using libburnia, witch currently under development, but works like a charm.
The problem exists mostly because of wodim - there are many types of bugs, what includes permission rights and many more types too. I don't know why are the programs are still using this engine...

For erasing DVD's, I use "growisofs ... -Z ..."
