Is it possible that your cdrw is not a scsi device? if not check you have
the module insmod'ed, otherwise if so, try:

ste@ns:[~]$ cdrecord -dev=ATAPI -scanbus
[...]
scsidev: 'ATAPI'
devname: 'ATAPI'
scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2
Warning: Using ATA Packet interface.
Warning: The related Linux kernel interface code seems to be unmaintained.
Warning: There is absolutely NO DMA, operations thus are slow.
Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'.
scsibus0:
        0,0,0     0) 'MATSHITA' 'DVD-R   UJ-816  ' 'DXJ3' Removable CD-ROM
        0,1,0     1) *
[...]
That is because the kernel team, from 2.6 on, preferred to switch from ide-scsi modules
to the (ATAPI) non-scsi-emulated, referring to ``ide_cd'' module.
Try again with the suggested option, once you checked the ide_cd module to
be inserted.
Give a feed back, please.
