    Code:
    /usr/bin/cdrecord -v gracetime=2 dev=0,1,0 speed=10 -tao driveropts=burnfree -eject blank=fast -force
    Try this or
    Code:
    wodim -v gracetime=2 dev=0,1,0 speed=10 -tao driveropts=burnfree -eject blank=fast -force
    IF this doesn't work try to unmount it first, execute as root:
    Code:
    umount /dev/hdb
    A quick explanation about what we are doing: I think the problem is in how k3b handles cdrecord command line parameters, it is trying to open your dvd recorder with its /dev name (/dev/hdb) but it should use the scsi name (0,1,0)
    Or maybe you need to unmount the CD before blanking it
