I did change my /tmp area, but it didn't help. However, I reran
dpkg-reconfigure cdrecord and set the SUID bit properly and now I am
able to burn. I haven't tried changing the /tmp back to just plain
old /tmp to see if it also fixed that issue.

Yep, that works (after the dpkg-reconfigure cdrecord update).
