Bill,
Depending on which version of cdrecord you are using,
cdrecord will get to the SCSI Yamaha burner via:
   - scsi generic (sg) device (probably /dev/sg1)
   - or directly to /dev/scd0 (via the SG_IO ioctl in
     the block layer)
   - or via /dev/scd0 using the CDROM_PACKET_COMMAND
     ioctl

Could you determine which one is happening? If the
sg route is being used then the individual SCSI
commands can be seen by observing 'cat /proc/scsi/sg/debug'
while the burn is in progress. What version of cdrecord
are you using and what does its output look like?
