yes i think you should try cdrecord from the command line with the verbose option turned on and see what happens. ( the option is -V).
If you need the basics of how to use cdrecord see the cd writing howto at http://tldp.org There is some weird crap with cdrecord and various kernel versions. what versions of cdrecrod and kernel are you running? also I note that i am in the cdrecording group in /etc/group - I am not sure if this is important or a hangover from some earlier setup.
