Strange. You don't torture your media in a peculiar way,
i suppose.

Qu'est-ce que c'est "botch" ? Aha. "Pfusch", "Stuemperei".
Looks like Joerg is not amused by some bug-or-feature of
your Linux.

The self-contradicting message texts indicate that cdrecord
is faced with failures which are not accompanied by some
recognizable error codes.
Wether this is related to the "botch" remains open.
Is this behavior bound to a certain kernel version ?
Can you afford to boot some rescue Linux or Life-CD
with a different kernel to see wether this behavior
persists ?
(For a x86 PC you could use
http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip
which already contains a cdrecord.)

This could mean that only the -atip related activities
of cdrecord are in trouble on your system.
Have a nice day :)
