10.4: A caution on the functionality of Burn Folders
I have found Burn folders to be nothing but trouble.
10.4: A caution on the functionality of Burn Folders
Re: it can crash halfway through the burn if some random folder has a protected/non-copyable file (what is with these files? Everything should be copy-able)
Try running: find ~/Library -not -user yourusername -not -type l -ls ... in a Terminal shell to check for non-symlink files/directories you don't own. For example, you might discover root-owned, read-only-by-owner files under the Preferences directory.

Everything should be copy-able. No it shouldn't. Whether you want it to be or not, OS X is a multi-user operating environment. And because of that, certain security measures have to be taken so that you or another user of the computer won't muck it up or compromise the system's integrity. One of the ways a UNIX system does that is to make certain files and/or directories rw by root or daemon or some other user whose UID is less than 50, IIRC. That's why you have to enter your administrator password when installing some software.

I think he was talking about the Home folder. Everything should be copyable/burnable from his own user folder.
