External DVD Burner detected only as reader

Hello,

I have a problem with an IBM external (USB) dvd burner. I manage to use it as a reader correctly, but I can't see him as an available burner in brasero or K3B. I managed to use it previously with a Ubuntu dist, so it should be supported, but I believe there must be a problem of access rights, of HAL or so on.

Could somebody give me some hints on what to do?
