This is very odd. The version packaged in Debian testing (2.0a34) is later than the version which works on my other system (2.0a31). The Debian one seems to be case-sensitive, while the one I compiled isn't. Try ATAPI: instead of atapi: and see how that goes.
Otherwise, check this:
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.
The output of that command should tell you acceptable names.
I've been having a read around; do I need to: # modprobe ide-scsi
Not with 2.6, you shouldn't. You can try that way, as more people know it, but translating SCSI into IDE always seems like an extra thing to go wrong to me.
