I haven't done this yet, so this is only a guess, but 'cdrecord 
dev=HELP:' indicates for an ATAPI: prefix that an appropriate target 
syntax is ATAPI:bus,target,lun and it also says "Open via UNIX device: 
not supported".  Perhaps that man page is just outdated since your use 
of /dev/hdb partially worked. But given your -scanbus output perhaps 
using dev=ATAPI:0,1,0 would work better?
