Try to erase media first, as a separate operation, not as a part of new write 
process. 

If above fails then check permissions on /dev/dvd, but look at real device, 
usually /dev/sr0 . Both you can do with 'll /dev/dev' , to see where it links, 
and then 'll /dev/sr0' , if that is device where /dev/dvd points to. 

If not sure how to interpret results, or they make no sense (look right, but 
k3b doesn't work anyway), post result of second command here.
