Here's an excerpt from the cdrecord man page:

       -dao   Set Disk At Once mode.  This currently  only  works
              with  MMC  drives  that  support non raw Session At
              Once mode.

My guess is that gcombust is using this switch. So what we need to know now
is, what brand/model CD-R are you using? Also, if it lists a sense code in
that error message, let's see it. Finally, did you check against the list
of supported CD-R drives on the cdrecord homepage to make sure that your
CD-R drive can do DAO with cdrecord?
