I had better result with this multiburn script:


#!/bin/bash
#
#Program to initiate cdrecord on multiple devices, recording on successive
#blanks until SIGINT (Ctrl-C) is received.

#help...
if [ $# == 0 ] || [ $1 == "-h" ] || [ $1 == "--help" ]
     then
     echo "This program starts cdrecord to burn one image file to 
multiple devices,"
     echo "ejecting the cd when recording has finished. When a blank CD 
is inserted"
     echo "into any of the specified drives, recording of the image 
begins again."
     echo ""
     echo "Usage: $0 image devicelist"
     echo ""
     echo "'image' is the name of the image to be burned."
     echo "'devicelist' must be a list of devices which cdrecord 
understands -"
     echo "                                   see 'man cdrecord' for 
details."
     echo ""
     echo "Do Ctrl-C to terminate when recording is finished."
     exit 0
fi

#Arg check
if [ $# -lt 2 ]
     then
     echo "Not enough arguments. See '$0 -h' for help."
     exit 1
fi
if ! [ -e $1 ]
     then
     echo "$1 does not exist. Exiting."
     exit 1
fi

ISOFILE=$1

burndrive()
{
     echo "Please insert a blank CD into $1 to begin."
     while true
       do
       sleep 2
       STATUS=`cdrecord -V --inq dev=$1 2>&1`
       echo $STATUS | grep "medium not present" &> /dev/null
       if [ $? != 0 ]
           then
           echo "CD loaded on $1. Continuing."
           cdrecord --eject dev=$1 -data $ISOFILE &> /dev/null
           case $? in
               0)
                   echo "Burning completed successfully on drive $1."
                   echo "Insert a blank disc to continue on $1.";;

                   echo "Disc in $1 is not blank."
                   echo "Please insert a blank disc in $1.";;
               *)
                   echo "Unknown error on $1.";;
           esac
       fi
     done
}

for go in $*
do
   if [ $go == $1 ]
       then
       echo -n
   else
       burndrive $go &
       PIDLIST="$PIDLIST $!" #Collect subshell PIDs
   fi
done

#Kill subshells, then exit

#This sleep loop is just to retain control of the console -

while true
   do
   sleep 1000
done


Best regards.
