I'm not on FC2 yet, sorry, but on FC1 I have an issue with burning under 
k3b (under anything, actually) because kscd grabs the burner when I log 
in and cdrecord can't lock it. Unless you're sure this isn't your 
problem, try

ps ax | grep cd

and see if you get a response like

12736 ?        S      0:06 /usr/bin/autorun -l --interval=1000 
--cdplayer=/usr/bin/kscd

If you do, then

kill 12736

and try to burn with k3b again. Sorry if this is fixed under FC2, I lost 
track of the list for a little while.
