Hmm, how could I have missed that file?

(I'm using cdrw-taper, but I'm not actually backing up to CD).
The strange thing is that cdrecord is /usr/bin/cdrecord...
Ah, but it's not accessible for user backup, because backup is not a member of
group cdrom:
| backup@anakin:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/cdrecord
| -rwsr-xr-- 1 root cdrom 133 Jan 7 19:43 /usr/bin/cdrecord
| backup@anakin:~$ groups
| backup disk tape
| backup@anakin:~$
Time to file a bug with Debian's cdrw-taper...
