A couple of things you can check/do.
1. chmod 4711 /usr/bin/cdrecord (not recommended, avoid suid binaries
in general)
2. since you are using ide-scsi, your drives are NOT hdb and hdc, they
are scd0 and scd1
3. you need to have write (and exec?) permission to scd0/1 AND sg0/1,
this can be achieved by either setting the permissions on them to a+rwx
(not recommended) or by changing the group ownerships on them to
something other than root (scd* should already be group cdrom, you can
set sg0/1 to the same thing and setting them to g+rwx (or possibly just
rw, I'm not sure) and making sure you are a member of that group ("vigr"
as root). You will need to log out of your X session and log back in
for this to take effect (I'm not quite sure why).
Unless there is something REALLY strange about your burner, this should
do the trick.
