In the future... you can quickly find your cdwriter device and related links 
like this:

# ls -la /dev/ | grep scd0$
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            9 Sep 23  2002 cdrom -> /dev/scd0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            9 Sep 23  2002 cdrw -> /dev/scd0
brw-rw----    1 root   disk      11,   0 Apr 11  2002 scd0



And find the device notation for your cdrecord pointer like this:
# cdrecord --scanbus

(Although this is a real SCSI bus, not an emulated one.. the concept's the 
same)
