    Try using cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI

    Also, as previously noted, if you are using the 2.6.8 kernel it has
    burning disabled for a non-root user. That does not seem to be your
    error though.

    rebooting will kill all processes, but will not stop nautilus from
    launching the cdcreator window when a blank CD is inserted.

    Does the cdcreator window open when the disk is inserted? without having
    the burner software loaded?

    Are you logged in at command line or with X running?
