I remember that I did see a similar report half a year ago. At that time, 
cdrecord had no problems to find the drives....

The problem with k3b is that it does not depend on the portable cdrtools but on 
self-written code from the k3b project that as a result from time to time 
suffers from changes in the Linux distributions.
