homey,
No you were right the first time.
device 0,0,0 is the cd/dvdrw drive while 0,1,0 is a cd/dvd drive. I have tried both settings.

I noticed that you have an error message (medium not present - tray closed) and another "cdrecord: No disk / Wrong disk!". I had the same problem with Fedora Core 2 (kernel 2.6.5).

I used the command "cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus" to find the scsibus,target,lun (which, in my case, was 0,1,0). I then used the command "cdrecord -dummy -dev ATAPI:0,1,0 -data <iso file>" to make sure everything was working properly. Once I was sure, I then updated /etc/cdrecord.conf as such:
