    I think we are in the same boat (I've run into this problem on two
different machines with my revisions of CURRENT) :(... I resorted to
using an external DVD writer to write media (which is in and of itself
a PITA):

$ camcontrol devlist; uname -a

<Hitachi HDS721010CLA332 JP4OA39C>  at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (pass1,ada0)

    Have you tried non-rewritable CDs and DVDs yet (something that I
need to try too)?
HTH,
