Ok-ay... So I should skip mounting when I'm burning CDs? I bet that's where I 
messed myself up! (light-bulb!)

Good.

Again, I bet now that it was mounting the blank CD before burning it that 
fussed up the situation. K3b did eject when done, but I closed it to check 
through Super User/Konquerer that I really had stuff on the CD this time. 
When ready to do the next CD it was stuck in there!


You know, crying out to God, and telling you folks my troubles really brought 
answers yesterday. I feel restored back to health and sanity again.  Glad it 
makes your day to help! :)
