I have a new, bizarre development to my dilemma: when I checked /dev/cdrom, "root" was the owner and the group. When I checked /dev/scd0, I was the owner and "disk" was the group.
What I believe you *should* have is you as the owner of /dev/cdrom (or at least whatever it's symlinked to) and /dev/scd0. AIUI this is normally achieved with /etc/security/console.perms (which sets files perms. when someone logs into/out of the console.
For some reason I recently found I had to add /dev/scd* to the <cdrom> segment of this [RH8 still] (or was that /dev/sg*?) for me to be able to burn as myself. Mounting may have the same issues (assuming you have - what is it, "user"? - in the cdrom entry for your /etc/fstab).
