Yes, disk is a default group.

I've been doing some more google searching, this time on "WARNING: 
Cannot set RR-scheduler" and found some things...

--------------
"I now understand that a bug report has already been filed. According to
one of the comments, the author of cdrecord has mentioned that you can
safely ignore this warning, since cdrecord is actually _lowering_ it's
privileges (I don't understand the warning, then). The problem is that
cdrecord drops root privileges before trying to do this, hence the
warning message."
---------------
"When cdrecord is run suid root it will work.  However, it won't have
access to the function setpriority() listed below.  If you want to do
away with those errors, you will have to run cdrecord as root (ex: sudo
cdrecord)"
---------------

Its starting to look like I will have to put up with the warnings if I 
want to run as a regular user.

Cheers,
Gary
