As far as I know, the command should be like
# burncd -ev -s max data notes.txt fixate
I don't know if the order matters. Furthermore: You know that
you are recording notes.txt directly onto the CD and omitting
the ISO-9660 filesystem?

Yes, it is not fixated.

I had similar problems with burncd a long while ago, and I dropped
it completely in favour of SCSI / CAM based tools.

There is. Install cdrecord and / or cdrdao for CDs, and growisofs
for DVDs. Loat atapicam kernel module. Use it. Be happy. :-)
