Because
1) The writer is not supported by cdrecord and according to Joerg
   Schilling will never be. Reason here seems to be that this is a
   "PD" drive, whatever that is.
2) A patch located at
   http://www.panasonic.com/industrial_oem/computer/storage/dvd-ram/images/drivers/panasonic-dvd.diff.gz
   (note that the drive is sold by Panasonic) 
   suggests that treating the device like a disk (sd) works, which seems
   to be ~true. Right now I can write up to 2048 bytes and read them back,
   anything more will experience some corruption. 

I didn't have time to look further into this, but any help/suggestions are
very welcome.
