I think it's wong with 2.6.8. For security reasons it won't allow you to run 
setuid root programs. The only way you can run cdrecord is as the root user.
AFAIK xcdroast is just a front end to cdrecord just like k3b.

You might try 'cdrecord -scanbus' which I am fairly sure will give you an 
error in 2.6.8

Maybe I'm wrong but I can't see how running a binary as root user is any more 
secure than running it setuid root.
