Your problem is cdrdao isn't configured properly, I use cdrdao to copy cd's, as root in a console or terminal window. On my old slow system I have to copy to hd first them make the cd-copy, anyway I made a script called cdcopy that in essence is this:

cdrdao copy --source-device 0,1,0 --source-driver generic-mmc --device 0,0,0 --speed 8

do a man cdrdao and see what you need to do on your system, you'll have to set the devices, device-driver(s) and speed for your system.
