In any case, acd0a was 117 0, and acd0c was 117 2; this persisted even after I remade them. However, it occurred to me that I should then try using acd0a instead of the default acd0c, and it worked perfectly. A few minutes of playing around and I had permissions properly set up, the defaults in TCD set, and a CD-R merrily burning away. Thanks very much. Jesse Sheidlower
