It's usually a bad idea to upgrade Fedora Core packages with external
updates. Better keep FC3's k3b package, so you benefit from patches,
integration work and security/bug-fix updates.

To see where k3b fails, k3b's internal debug output might give a clue.
k3b offers debug output, so it can be looked at or saved to disk.

You should be able to use: -dev=/dev/cdwriter

dev=1.2.0 SCSI-style notation looks wrong (I'm not sure whether dots
instead of commata are allowed), in particular because...

What have you changed after the first week when it worked?  Hopefully
you didn't load any IDE/ATAPI SCSI emulation kernel modules.

Have you modified /etc/cdrecord.conf?
