At least until very recently, cdrecord didn't believe in ATAPI writers. 
Another popular program still doesn't believe in ATAPI burners. The 
convention is to treat burners as SCSI devices.

I don't understand how it is that  your install didn't map your burner 
as a SCSI device. Mine is mapped that way and I didn't doa nything 
special.
