xcdroast does not do the actual talking to the CDRW. It is just a GUI
frontend to cdrecord. So the first step might be to execute "cdrecord
-scanbus" and see what that says.
The second thing to check is the device files. If the block device file
is sr0, and that works for mounting, then cdrecord will look for the
device on /dev/sg0, which is likely a symbolic link to /dev/sga. Check
that they exist, and check their permissions. At least on RH 6.1, they
only allow root access by default.
