As an additional note: "woodim -scanbus" fails with the exact some error message, running as a normal user on kernel 2.6.19-rc1. Guess this is related to it, given that wodim does some sort of device probing at application startup (even if you set dev=x:x:x explicitly).
Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
