This usually means what it sais. As the software develops so will the
error messages as well. Since more modes are supported it wll become
more picky.

So could you please do a 

cdrecord -scanbus

or 

cdrecord -scanbus -dev=ATAPI

if you have an ATAPI CD drive?

Then next time you try to burn something with cdrecord use the '-v'
flag to get excessive reporting and post it here so we can see what
cdrecord thinks of your CD drive.
