You can try a multisession with --force.

This may be the problem. The 2,0,0 hints an ide-scsi device, while ATAPI: is
alternate transport for 2.4 kernels. If cdrecord works with ide-scsi you
should also try ide-scsi for cdrdao.
If you have a 2.6 kernel you should get better luck with the ATA: transport.
