I recently moved to Ubuntu Linux Jaunty Jackalope. I have some Audible audiobooks I have purchased in the past and according to their website, I should be able to burn the files to an audio CD with Nero; from there I can convert them to MP3 and load them onto my Sansa Fuze.

Unfortunately, when I try to create a compilation, Nero tells me that it cannot add files due to an "invalid argument" but gives no further information.

I am using Nero Linux 3 version 3.5.2.3

These are DRM'd files? If so, not much you can do with native Linux applications.

To burn the files with Nero, it requires a Windows version higher than 7. In which you have to choose Audio Book CD. Then Nero will prompt you for your user name and password.

Audible used to frown on using Nero, and told it's users to use iTunes instead

There are grey-area legal ways around DRM'd audio files. 5 minutes on Google should yield some good results.

If I had to do this, I would install Windows in Virtual Box, download iTunes, burn the files to CD, then re-rip that disc in Linux to ogg-vorbis or mp3.

Yes you can use Nero to convert them to MP3... but Nero Burning ROM for Windows.
Nero Linux does not contain an audio plug-in that handles audible format.
