There may be other problems, but this one suggests that something, probably
automount, is grabbing the device. Make sure you have closed any file
manager windows, and if a device icon has come onto the desktop, use it to
umount the device.
Thanks Anne, doing a umount on /dev/hdd solved the problem.
This is weird though - shouldn't Fedora automagically do this thing for us? I
I don't recall ever having to do a manual umount on my burner device
whenever I had to to erase rewriteable media on a RHEL-clone like
CentOS.
