It seems that growisofs (which is used by K3B) is having problem writing to my 
device too:

$> growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=file_test.iso 
Error trying to open /dev/dvd exclusively ... retrying in 1 second.
:-[ READ DISC INFORMATION failed with SK=4h/ASC=09h/ACQ=01h]: Input/output 
error

Same error message in /var/log/message. Hm...
