My system is lenny with a linux-image-2.6.22-3-686 kernel.

What is wrong and how can I fix it.

I don't know, but it might help for you to provide the actual console
commands and output. Also, describe your system's hardware, and see if it
works in other Linux distros or other OS'es.

Those are the actual console commands given above.

I have found that wodim --devices finds the two ide drives, a cdrom drive
and a cdrw drive, but I normally burned cd's with a sony usb cdrw drive.
After last night's adventures the usb drive appears to be dead. wodim
--scanbus found it at 0,0,0 but as stated above went crazy trying to
write to it. I then made the mistake of telling wodim to write to
/dev/sg0, the location reported when the usb drive was connected. wodim
tried and failed. After this the usb device is no longer recognized
when it is connected. My fault. I'll miss the usb drive as it was an
external drive I could move to another system. If wodim can work with
an external usb drive I will replace it.

Correction: I rebooted and the usb cdrw drive is alive and well.

wodim --scanbus still reports it as device 0,0,0 but wodim --devices
finds it as dev='/dev/scd0' and the command wodim -v dev='dev/scd0'
data.iso works perfectly.

Maybe everybody else knew to use the output of wodim --devices rather
than wodim --scanbus but old habits die hard.
