It sounds like OS 9's built-in burning facility is getting in the way. I had to use the extension manager (and now use Conflict Catcher) to disable the OS's burning extensions and let Toast do its job because the OS burner didn't work. Hang on a second....when you insert a blank disk, does it say "This disc needs to be prepared for burning. Do you want to prepare this disk?" along with a drop-down list of option? If it does then I believe it's the OS trying to handle the burning. Hopefully somebody else will chime in and correct me if I'm wrong (my experience with CD burners is with an external USB and internal IDE, and neither work unless I use Toast).
