The fact that you have to run the program as root would seem to indicate that 
the permissions for the cdburner are to restrictive. I run Kreatecd as a 
normal user with no problem. You should pay attention to symbolic links i.e. 
/dev/cdwriter--> scd0. The link may have user permissions, while the device 
it points to does not. The more restrictive permission will prevail. I know 
this from personal experience.
