Bug Description

When I try to format a previously written DVD-RW with my USB recorder, I obtain the error reported below which I suppose is related with the fact that the DVD is automatically mounted with pmount (I'm using Kubuntu Edgy Eft upgraded from Dapper) when I insert it.
In order to format the dvd, I have to use the console to manually umount the /media/dvdrecorder and after that K3b works correctly.
If I insert a blank DVD, it isn't mounted automatically and so K3b works flawlessly.
If I start K3b as root there is no problem, but it's not very safe.
What can I do to format my DVDs using K3b as user?
Thank you,
Xwang
