Nautilus won't recognize blank media

[Steve Fink]

Everyone,

I access Nautilus through either typing burn:/// in the Nautilus window
or by nautilus --no-desktop burn: from the command line.  I copy my
files into the window and click Write to CD. Verify the settings are
correct and click Write.

The message says "Reload rewritable or blank media. Please replace the
in-drive media by a rewritable or blank media."

I've verified that the media is in fact blank by placing it in another
burner.

I verified that /dev/cdwriter points to the correct IDE device /dev/hdb.
I Googled and all the previous problems I've found were related to 2.6.8
kernel ( I too had this problem back then ).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve

PS

I have a fresh version of FC3 running on a Dell Lattitude C840 with the
following:

Stock kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3
udev-039-10.FC3.5
nautilus-cd-burner-2.8.3-6
nautilus-2.8.1-4
nautilus-media-0.8.1-3
