Try closing any apps that might be using the files you're trying to burn.

right click on the file and choose info.
Make sure the file is set to allow write and re-write.
I'm puched for time right now, but when you get there
youll be able to see what to do.

sorry for being brief.

when was the last time you ran the repair permissions command in the disk utilities application?

Would you happen to have a Western Digital external drive?

Does it happen if you log in as a different user?

You can try to run lsof -n | grep -i "part of your volume name" in terminal.
It will show you all open files on volume
