Thanks for leading me to the solution. It turned out that the 
.kde/share/config/k3brc file must have been from an earlier version. It looked 
correct but apparently missed the statement:
"growisofs default=/bin/usr/growisofs"

The reason why it work for the root user was because it generated a correct file 
for that user. After removing the faulty file and chown'ed a few files I was 
able to run k3b from an ordinary user without problems.

Again thanks a lot,
