I ran Nautilus as a root and the copy & paste into the DVD-RAM disc
works perfectly.


I changed the permissions of /media/cdrom and /media/cdrom0 to full
permissions for my user account (john) recursively via Nautilus ran as
root, while the DVD-RAM disc was mounted, but after unmounting and
remounting, the permissions reported by right-clicking the DVD-RAM icon
on the user desktop remain for root.

In the mean-time the access permissions for /media/cdrom and
/media/cdrom0 remain for john (my user account).


Any ideas for enabling writing with my user account (apart from the
current solution of running Nautilus via sudo), would be welcome.
