Can't burn cds

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

What the heck is going on?  The device is there.  Dmesg shows that the 
kernel knows what it is.  Yet I can't read or write cds, and, as you can 
see, camcontrol thinks it's non-existant.  Yet cdcontrol will open and 
close the drive but can't provide any info???  What am I missing?
