I did - using k3b.

I've just found a brand-new cd-rw and again k3b appeared to do the burn, but 
when it came to the verify it said it couldn't read the ISO9660 file system.  
I cannot mount the disk - konqueror says it doesn't know the file system.  
This time there were no errors in messages when it failed to read the file 
system.

Either there is a big problem with k3b or my drive, I think.  And I'm worried 
that both drives I have tried have the same problem.
