Maybe what you want is lufs (which I mentioned in passing earlier in 
this thread).  Read about it here: 
http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/intro.html.

Lufs allows the mounting of folders on an external computer via ssh. 
Thus, just about any local program can see an external file tree 
transparently.  I really like the concept and use it often, but I have 
encountered a couple bugs; e.g. emacs doesn't like it.

With regarding to cd burning, you could "mount" a folder residing on 
your "local computer" on the "computer next to you".  Then K3B, which 
executes on the computer next to you, could see that folder.
