Never burnt a cd in linux, but I looked at the cdrecord command you posted
and it seemed iffy (well, nit iffy, jsut simple.. nothing is that easy..
:). I think you need to pass the image size to cdrecord, take a look at:

See above

Well, I know I'm going to sound like a heritic, but umm.. the only cd
burners that I have access to are in win2k machines at work, which
have Roxio EZ CD Creator. Just File->Make cd from image and select image
and 10 minutes later I have a cd... It's actually easier that Toast.
if you're running RedHat, you may want to check out xcdroast, a GTK Front
end to cdrecord, perhaps it'll catch something you're missing.
