thanks for all the suggestions. today the drive is being detected by
k3b as the reader device, but no device is detected for burning (it
should be the same device). so i'll put it down to a failing drive at
least. it's still working in windows - yesterday it had no difficulty
burning a disk at 16x (though perhaps not for much longer).
i have the latest kernel and version of k3b available through yast.
for now i'll have to stick with burning disks with k3b at work, where it
is working fine, and i much prefer that to nero on windows.

I use the cdrdao command to duplicate cds'.
You put the source cd in your burner drive. An image file is transfered to
your hard drive. You are prompted to remove the source cdrom and replace it
with a blank cd to write. The program cleans up the files it creates on your
hard drive and exits.
Here is the command which I have adapted to your machine from the debugging
output you provided.
cdrdao copy --device /dev/hdd --eject --driver generic-mmc
If you do a lot of cd copying it may be usefull to alias this command.
Hope that helps.
