This could be a permissions problem. When you first run k3b as the user, 
it asks you to change some permissions to make utilities like cdrdao, 
cdrecord etc usable by mortals. Such utilities are by default only 
usable by root.

So, use k3bsetup to setup permissions properly and you should be okay.
