You do not have this Drive set to automount by any chance, this can play
absolute havoc with wodim/growisofs. If using these it is wise to
disable all CD/DVD automounting. The above suggest something is grabbing
the device and using it before the tools can grab it themselves.

are you referring to the fstab usbfs line?
if so, it was set to noauto and it did not work.
i changed it to auto and it still did not work.
if it is something in Hal or elsewhere, please advise where && how.
thanks,

If you are using this within a desktop environment the desktop may
attempt to automount when valid media is detected, if your desktop is
set to do this disable it. (This is a real pain half way through a burn
if something checks and finds a valid iso image description on a device
and attempts to mount it, which has happened to me).

In some code I am working on I do a check to see if the media is mounted
and unmount before issuing any burn related commands.

To find out what is grabbing the media issuing a lsof command may be
useful.

Is the media to be burned unused, or does it contain an image?

This would be a useful pointer if answered....
