Does the drive actually reload the media correctly?  If so, i'd say the
device permissions are OK.

That sounds like your permissions to the .iso might be not quite right,
but that can't be the case, since you're reading the size of the image
correctly.

Whatever the problem, that's a pretty fast CD writer you've got there!  ;-)

I've just tried this using a 4x CD-RW (with and without the -dummy) on
both RHL9 (Liteon 52x52x24x drive) and Fedora Test 2 (Liteon 40x24x10x
drive) with no problems.

If i do the same with the CD-RW that i've just recorded, i get the error
you showed.  Looks like you're trying to dummy write a CD that's not
blank...
