I also ran into this problem. It was caused by permissions.
Running:

I am afraid, there is no chance that it will be done by the package out
of the box. It may be dangerous for some users. After all, applied by
users, this workaround is fragile and SUID bit will be reset on package
upgrade (dpkg-divert may help).
- Was k3b working in bookworm in your case?
- Did you set SUID bit for wodim earlier?
- What is current kernel version on your machine?
(uname -a)
- May you copy full wodim (cdrecord) command from k3b logs when SUID bit
is not set?
- May you try to install cdrskin instead of wodim to test if k3b can
work with another tool? (May require adjusting of k3b settings.)
- What type of optical drive do you use?
- What devices are created on your machine for optical drives?
ls -l /dev/sg* /dev/sr* /dev/scd*
