I spent the better part of yesterday researching this problem. From what I can figure the problem (see a k3b related bugzilla bug 122096) results because of recent changes to cdrecord which requires that it be called with --dev=/dev/scdX instead of --dev=X,X,X for SCSI drives and I am guessing --dev=/dev/hda for IDE drives. I suspect that xcdroast is calling cdrecord with the old --dev parameterization. For example on my SCSI system my writer has an old SCSI specification of 0,5,0. The following shell command:when i try to burn a cd with xcdroast, atapi mode, it bombs.
here is the output from xcdroast:

For k3b there is a new spec file for k3b-0.11.9-4 and a SCSI patch to fix the problem. When I run xcdroast I have the same problem as you so I moved to k3b because I could take the spec file and patch and compile a version that works on my SCSI system. Probably xcdroast could be patched in the same manner, but I didn't attempt that ... I just decided it was time to move to k3b.
I don't know if this will help you, but maybe someone else can suggest something better.
