I seem to remember seeing this with cdrecord also.  In my case, it had 
to do with my cdrecord executable not having setuid capability and not 
having users as part of the "cdrom" group.

The way I solved it (with the lists help!) was by adding the user that I 
wanted to be able to execute cdrecord to the "cdrom" group and by 
providing cdrecord with setuid capability (by running "dpkg-reconfigure 
cdrecord").  HTH.
