I am not a kernel hacker, but rather a self-proclaimed expert for optical drives and ISO 9660. My best guess is that the kernel believes the medium is read-only (like BD-ROM) and thus refuses any attempt to use it for writing via the normal POSIX system interface. But i do not know how to inquire the kernel's view on the medium. The drive sees a BD-RE and has no scruples to write data to it. But the kernel seems to see a problem with writing.
