  Could someone tell me what I would have to do to get the read-write
  access to my UDF formatted CDs?

You need an additional patch for the kernel to get R/W UDF support...
It's referred to as packet writing... try this out for more info:

But the OP is using XCDroast. You can't packet-write with that, even if 
you could reliably packet-write under Linux, which afaik, you can't.

Even the programs that pretend to do drag-and-drop burning ala XP, 
just make an ISO in the temp directory and burn that.

Sorry, but I really hate packet-writing. Always have, since it showed up 
some 6 or so years ago under Windows apps (yes, it was around long 
before XP melded it into the OS).

but if you review the original post, he also tried editing his fstab. 
This is evidence that the poster is open to using other methods other 
than a GUI cd writing app.

does anyone know if this is capatible with the directCD's made with 
Adaptec's windows software?

I can already hear the answer of No.. so I will preempt and ask: if not, 
does anyone know of a way to use directCD's under Linux without 
resorting to vmware+windows+directcd ?

Yes. I've used discs formatted using Roxio DirectCD, as well as Nero
InCD and one other program whose name escapes me at the moment...
