You should not normally.

Forget it. Cdrecord tries all possible names it knows about and /dev/pg
is the last one it tries. The error message is wrong.

It does. Try strace.

Dunno. Boot cleanly (do not forget remove /dev/sg* and
/lib/dev-state/sg( you have created), kill devfsd, start it with
devfsd /dev -t 3
(you may add -fg so it does not fork, in which case either redirect
output or start it in scripted session), load sg and send the output of
devfsd.
I assume you do have sg devices?
