Dont blame your tools. It was all working OK until *you* made changes to the 
system; so what does that suggest?  There have been a lot of changes recently 
to the way CDs are handled by the kernel, the tools and the device system. It 
has been quite a while since CD writers had to work in scsi emulation mode so 
if you upgrade all the cd tools that K3B relies on to match your kernel I'm 
sure that will go a long way to solving your problem.

There is no point in upgrading your kernel just to have a newer one. You do it 
because new functionality is introduced and that commonly requires updating 
other components as well. If you had no compelling reason for updating then 
simply switch back to the older kernel that worked. The producers of your 
distro spend a lot of time making sure everything matches and works together. 
If you want to make changes either be sure of what you are doing or wait till 
the distro puts out a new stable release.
