In the meantime I had logged in as root and tried nautilus cd burner again, and it worked fine - confirming permissions as the issue. I enabled nautilus-cd-burner debug and tried yet again logged in as my standard user instead of root...and the cd burned fine!... good grief, not sure what has "fixed" it - as I have changed no permissions or group settings for the user. I guess if it happens again I'll get more info given debug is enabled... Any ideas? be nice to understand what happened... Mark
