Ok, so now with a compile of 
http://scdbackup.sourceforge.net/cdrskin-0.4.2.pl00.tar.gz and an 
"ldconfig" ;) things are running!

Looks Great ! TAO was executed.

Awesome! However, now I have a new problem. There is nothing on the 
disk? I can mount it, but there is nothing there. To touble check and 
make sure my track_01.iso was ok, I mounted it too:

mount -o loop track_01.iso /media/cdrom0

track_01.iso was ok. So now I'm tempted to burn another track and close 
it for S&Gs since the -msinfo worked, and cdrecord automatically closed 
the disc but I could mount and read it. Or maybe there is something 
else. So I'm throwing this out hear for direction.

BTW, I will use a new DVD+R everytime, of course (^_-)
