This last message is your problem.

There are two parts to the SCSI CD-ROM driver. The SCSI ROM driver
(sr_mod) is enough to read CDs, and provides the /dev/sr0 (/dev/scd0)
device. However, you also need the SCSI Generic driver (sg) to do
things like CD burning and CDDA. Make sure you have the sg module
loaded, and check the permissions on /dev/sg0 or /dev/sga; they're
most likely root/disk 0660, which you can safely change to root/cdrom.
