Some thoughts.  Every time I set up k3b to run under FreeBSD I had to run it 
as root or it would not recognize the drive properly.  The first thing I can 
think of is to make sure that under set -> devices your drive is displayed 
properly.  If not, try running k3b as root.  Not an ideal solution but ti 
should at least get you going, if that is the problem.

The other problem I have had is that I had to change from
Writing Mode : Auto 
to	Writing Mode: DAO

I don't know why but I would have read / write errors, change the Write Mode 
to DAO and then it would work.

I hope this helps, I understand your frustration...
