K3b says "no suitable writer found" if run as normal user

Hi,  
   
I hope somebody can help me with the following problem. K3b doesn't find a 
"suitable writer" if I run it as a normal user. This problem appeared 
after I upgraded to kernel(-image) 2.6.8-2-k7. 
I have no idea why it doesn't detect the writer, it detects the drive as 
reading device only. 
I use cdrecord (Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a34) and a cdrecord -prcap (run as 
normal user) detects the writer:  
 ...  
 scsidev: 'ATA:1,0,0'  
 devname: 'ATA'  
 scsibus: 1 target: 0 lun: 0  
 Warning: Using badly designed ATAPI via /dev/hd* interface.  
   
 Does read CD-R media  
 Does write CD-R media  
 Does read CD-RW media  
 Does write CD-RW media  
   
 The permissions of files and devices are:  
 brw-rw-rw-  1 root cdrom 22, 0 Mar 14  2002 /dev/hdc  
   
 -rwsr-xr--  1 root cdrom    133 Aug 26  2004 /usr/bin/cdrecord  
 -rwsr-xr--  1 root cdrom 347180 Aug 26  2004 /usr/bin/cdrecord.mmap  
 -rwsr-xr--  1 root cdrom 347212 Aug 26  2004 /usr/bin/cdrecord.shm  
 (cdrecord is installed suid root)  
   
 K3b detects cdrecord.mmap  
   
If I run k3b as normal user, k3b says that the writer can write CD/RWs but 
not CDs, if I run k3b as root, k3b says it can also write CDs.  
   
I think the problem is really strange. K3b is really user-friendly as long 
as it works, but if it stops working it is worse than 
windows-applications. I installed it to make windows users able to use the 
linux box.  
   
Any suggestions what I configured wrong?  
   
Thanks,  
   
Wolfgang
