With my laptop, I did both the usermod and gpasswd fixes as above. But 
not the bash one, as I use the fish shell. And the laptop's group file 
now includes "cdrom:x:24:<username>".

Again (with the laptop), I tried writing the Backup folder (from a micro 
flash card) onto the blank CD-ROM. But again I got the error that 
cdrecord wasn't permitted to open the device, and I should modify K3B's 
device settings.
