Brian,

Quoting from "man grip" (down in the "Common Questions" section):

       Q:
       I can play cd's fine, but my ripper can't access the
       drive. Why not?

       A:
       Rippers (cdparanoia, at least) need access to the generic
       SCSI device as well. See the "Running Grip/GCD" section
       for more information on this.

For further information about setting up "SCSI Generic" emulation, see
the CD-Writing HOWTO http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html
