cd blanking/recording

[Cyber Source]

You don't need scsi emulation. I would suspect your problem is with 
selinux. If you  weren't careful during your install, it probably got 
installed and is enforcing. Edit the file /etc/selinux/config and change 
the line SELINUX=enforcing to SELINUX=disabled, then reboot. You can 
then try your had at chmoding cdrecord, now that I think about it, 
that's probably your entire problem.
