Ok, I tried as root on a Linux 2.6.1. the following:

[root/] :cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATA
Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a25 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling
scsidev: 'ATA'
devname: 'ATA'
scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2
Warning: Open by 'devname' is unintentional and not supported.
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open 'ATA'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.
[root] :

What is this ? Linux buggy ? cdrecord buggy ? Joerg buggy ? Mail buggy ?

Keep hacking!
