I burned with great success as root, then tried as user and got the same as before. Simple. Forgot to check permissions on CDrom. Added user write permission and it works fine. Probably didn't need to burn once in root, but now I'll never know. It did point me where I should have been at the beginning though. Could swear I checked permissions originally. Maybe checked file and forgot dev. ...Dang it, I know I checked dev. Is there anything that would change it back when I wasn't looking? Maybe I'm losing it? Early senility? Destined to die a newbie.
