You have problems with the mounting of your CD-burner. It is linked as a kind of harddisk.
You see it by this line:
Warning: Using badly designed ATAPI via /dev/hd* interface.
your cdrom should be under /dev/cdrom or dev/dvd
Check if you have this devices and change the definition for cdrecord, that it records on /dev/cdrom
I'm not a big expert, but maybe it is not problem to have the dvd like /dev/hd*, it is really a kind of disk, but I think it should be maybe refered like /dev/sd* - it is maybe SCSI device, how did you install your mandrake?
I'm using mandrake 10.0 Official, and I'm burning iso images using k3b, it works for me excellent, I have also two cd devices, one is cdrom and the other cd-rw.
I have also the warning with "Using badly designed ATAPI via /dev/hd* interface."
