strace reveils that this confusing message comes from the total
lack of /dev/scd* and /dev/hd* device files or links.

I can fix it on my Jessie by

  for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5
  do
    test -e /dev/sr"$i" && ln -s /dev/sr"$i" /dev/scd"$i"
  done

  wodim --devices

This yields

  wodim: Overview of accessible drives (5 found) :
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------
   0  dev='/dev/scd0'     rwrw-- : 'HL-DT-ST' 'BDDVDRW GGC-H20L'
   1  dev='/dev/scd1'     rwrw-- : 'HL-DT-ST' 'DVDRAM GH24NSC0'
   2  dev='/dev/scd2'     rwrw-- : 'HL-DT-ST' 'BD-RE  GGW-H20L'
   3  dev='/dev/scd3'     rwrw-- : 'Optiarc' 'BD RW BD-5300S'
   4  dev='/dev/scd4'     rwrw-- : 'HL-DT-ST' 'BD-RE  BH16NS40'

To Steve McIntyre and Michael Biebl:
Is there a chance to establish some udev rule to create /dev/scd* 
links ?


Have a nice day :)
