I'm far from being an expert, but my system works, and no one else is
answering you, so I'll have a go. I hope someone more knowledgeable
will step in if they see me misleading you.
Have you read the document at http://www.leewardfpga.com/cdrw.html ?
It applies specifically to RedHat 6.1 & 6.2 and I found it a useful
adjunct to the CD writing HOWTO.

You have presumably checked that your cd burner really is on /dev/hdb.

What is all this in aid of? Do you have any real scsi components
attached to your machine? That would presumably complicate matters.
The document above suggests the line
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
which works for me.

What is /dev/hdc? Or is either this or the "hdb" above a typo?

I don't know whether you need this. I've got
modprobe ide-scsi
in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local
and it seems to do the job.
Good luck.
