Maybe it is a permission problem. On most installations, cdrecord runs
suid root. Maybe cdrdao does not. Check the permissions for cdrdao and
those for /dev/sg*. /dev/sg* device files normally are only
read/writable for root (and in this configuration should be usable with
cdrecord if it is suid root). Maybe you want to change group ownership
from root to cdrom and make them read/writable for group as well.
