Yes, I'm sure. If you read to the end of my too-long story, you will
see:
The cdrecord command worked when I used dev=/dev/scd0.
The real k3b problem was something screwed up with NFS, I think. But
why lsof needed to do a stat on that mount point is not at all clear
to me. Nothing to do with the actual burner.

Through all this I had a blank CD-R in the drive. The final cdrecord
command burnt a CD that I could then boot on another computer (the
original point of the exercise).

Mount does not know what to do with a blank CD.

I needed a bootable CD.

I don't know if it knows how to do CDs. I do know that it won't do
--padsize=128k when burning a .iso.
