If you are running FC2 with the 2.6.8-1.521 kernel and trying to burn
the CD as a regular user this cannot be done.

The archives have lots of information on that.

NOTE: cdrecord -scanbus now seems to require root authority to do its
thing as well.  It also only reports on the scsi devices for me.  I have
an ATAPI dvd burner but cdrecord -scanbus only sees the scsi hard drive
I am using and not the dvd burner.
