My guess from this is simply that you didn't run xcdroast as root or
nautilus as root. If you open a terminal and type `gksudo nautilus`,
put in your password, then hit places>CD/DVD Burner you'll be able to
do this.

All devices are owned by root by default, this is a security issue and
isn't going to change. So in order to access devices you either have
to use sudo to run a command as root or change the device permissions
to allow people other than root to do whatever.

gksudo should work for what you need. If you want to try other burners
rather than nautilus you should check out k3b and for ripping try
grip. Both are in the repos if I recall.  Or if you want to be really
cool you can just learn cdrecord (this is the command line program
that k3b, xcdroast, and nautilus all work on top of.) cdrecord isnt'
easy to learn but once you have the hang of it it's far easier than
any gui programs.

Please let me know if this doesn't help you out.
