^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hmmm, read-only? Can you check permissions on the deice nodes and, more
importantly, how devfs is mounted? If that gives no clue, run cdrecord
under strace and see what it is doing to produce this error.

Do you have scsi-generic (aka sg) support? I think cdrecord needs it.

This leads me to believe that the SCSI device for the CD is OK (though
maybe read-only?)... check the above things and report back.
