i cant comment on your method, i generally use cdrecord natively as
root, as it seems to behave differently as root and as setuid.
check out the /etc/default/cdrecord file.
$ grep -v ^# /etc/default/cdrecord
CDR_DEVICE=/dev/hdd
CDR_SPEED=48
CDR_FIFOSIZE=4m
teac= 1,3,0 -1 -1 ""
panasonic= 1,4,0 -1 -1 ""
plextor= 1,4,0 -1 -1 ""
sanyo= 1,4,0 -1 -1 burnfree
yamaha= 1,5,0 -1 -1 ""
cdrom= 0,6,0 2 1m ""
then
# cdrecord some.iso
works well.
