I've noticed with my digital camera (which is mounted as a scsi drive on a 
usb interface) that sometimes running cdrecord --scanbus allows it to 
work, it must clean up some sort of cruft that I don't understand.

Perhaps this will help you.  Perhaps someone smarter than me can explain 
the cruft.
